Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 1989, Volume 1, Number 1, p. vi

Letter From The Editor

Dear Reader,

We are proud to present the first issue of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics. JPO is the result of a cooperative effort between the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association
and the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists. Each organization agreed to discontinue their respective journals, Orthotics and Prosthetics and Clinical Prosthetics and
Orthotics and combine their efforts to publish one journal for the orthotic and prosthetic field.

The Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics will be equally supported by AOPA and the Academy and will be backed by an outstanding editor and editorial board. The new journal will be
the only orthotic and prosthetic journal in the United States and will alternate between solicited and unsolicited issues. Each solicited issue will focus on a topic that the editorial board
considers to be relevant and the most current concern to the orthotics and prosthetics field. Prosthetists, orthotists, and other allied health professionals who are best able to write on the
chosen topic - the experts - will be solicited.

Every alternate issue will feature articles which are submitted for publication and accepted, after a few review by the editorial board. Again, articles chosen for publication will be
relevant and current.

The editor of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics is Charles Pritham, CPO, former editor of Clinical Prosthetics and Orthotics. Members of the editorial board are as follows:

Larry Lange, CPO - former editor of Orthotics and Prosthetics, AOPA's quarterly journal (also to cease publication)
John W. Bowker, M.D. - Director of the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at the University of Miami School of Medicine and former member of the C.P.O.
editorial board
Wayne Daly, CPO - former member of the Orthotics and Prosthetics editorial board
Michael J. Quigley, CPO - chairman of C.P.O. and former editor for Orthotics and Prosthetics
Robert C. Manfredi, Jr., CPO - former member of the Orthotics and Prosthetics editorial board
Michael P. Greene, CPO - former member of Orthotics and Prosthetics editorial board
Tina-Laura Hittenberger, CO - former member of Orthotics and Prosthetics editorial board and chairperson of the 1988 AOPA Scientific Sessions
