Don't pay for MEDLINE searches like I foolishly did. Use these free search sites instead. FYI - the only thing I've found on MEDLINE is little abstracts.Seems like you have to pay $15-25 for a copy of the articles. A little out of my price range.
| MedlinePlus | Free service at the National Library of Medicine |
| Health World Online | |
| A Manual for Above-Knee Amputees | I especially liked the drawings showing the prosthesis components. |
| Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics | 175 prosthetic centers in US. PFFD dedicated specialists. |

| Otto Bock Orthopedic Industry | Otto Bock is the world’s leading orthopedic manufacturer / distributor of prosthetic and orthotic componentry, tools and fabrication materials, used in the rehabilitation of the physically disabled. |
These are the places that give me many ideas for the PFFDvsg. Special thanks to Bill at I-CAN.
