tions. New concepts are considered in select assistive technologies and surgical domains. Finally, much needed
psychometric work is presented in clinical outcome measures used in the evaluation of those using artificial
limb technologies.
Those who contributed to the science and dissemination of this research hope that consumers, payors,
clinicians, academicians, and, above all, patients will benefit from the findings contained in this edition of
Technology and Innovation. It is hoped that the findings will continue to build the body of knowledge within
the rehabilitation sciences, including prosthetics and orthotics. It is further hoped that this science will assist
in the reimbursement arena with clinical decision making and that others will build on and expand on these
findings to continue to push the boundaries of what can be achieved for those who use assistive technologies.
