Orthotic & Prosthetic Shop Manual
The Orthotics and Prosthetics Shop Manual is a helpful reference tool for any O&P laboratory. It contains detailed descriptions and images of the most common tools, materials, and terminology used in the shops of today and yesterday. Be prepared - this manual is fairly comprehensive at 330 pages in length!
The original O&P SHop Manual was compiled by the American Orthotics and Prosthetics Association (AOPA) in the mid-late 20th century. It has been recreated here digitally with helpful additions from Century College. Efforts have been made to both modernize the content while still maintaining the original historical portions for posterity. This product is released under a Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution License by both Century College in partnership with AOPA.
