In the original edition of , Dr Sidney Fishman identified what he anticipated as foundational educational needs for the emerging field of clinical prosthetics and orthotics. Within the broader construct of the physical sciences, this included mathematics, physics, chemistry, biomechanics, and material sciences. The clinical application of these disciplines to expanding the collective understanding within the field is described, including the biomechanics of able-bodied and prosthetic gait, the material science of socket construction, the physics of suspension and load distribution, and the engineering of prosthetic components to mimic human biomechanics. Additional applications of the physical sciences to upper limb prosthetics and lower limb orthotics are also described. In contemplating the continued growth and maturation of the field in the years to come, mechatronics and statistics are suggested as future areas where clinical proficiency will be required.
在原版中， Sidney Fishman 博士确定了他预期的临床假肢和矫形领域新兴领域的基础教育需求。在物理科学的更广泛结构中，这包括数学、物理、化学、生物力学和材料科学。这些学科在扩大领域内的集体理解方面的临床应用被描述出来，包括健全和假肢步态的生物力学、插座结构的材料科学、悬挂和负载分布的物理以及模仿人体生物力学的假肢部件的工程。还描述了物理科学在上肢假肢和下肢矫形中的其他应用。在考虑未来几年该领域的持续增长和成熟时，建议机电一体化和统计学是未来需要临床熟练程度的领域。
