In the inaugural edition of in 1977, Dr Sidney Fishman identified the Psychological Sciences as one of six indispensable areas of skill and knowledge in professional prosthetic-orthotic practice. Since then, there have been substantial changes and developments in the complexity and capabilities of assistive technologies, greater emphasis on understanding the relationships between people and enabling technologies, growing recognition of the importance of the contexts and environments that support their use, and changes in both health care services and the professional development of prosthetists and orthotists. The aim of this narrative review is to reflect on the role of in shaping the evolving understanding of psychology in prosthetics and orthotics. There remains considerable potential and opportunity for the development and application of psychology in addressing the challenges of disability globally. However, a broad interpretation and application of the principles of rehabilitation psychology are needed if we are to meaningfully incorporate psychological science into the knowledge that informs prosthetic and orthotic practice.
在 1977 年创刊的第一版中，Sidney Fishman 博士将心理科学确定为专业假肢矫形实践中不可或缺的六大技能和知识领域之一。自那时以来，辅助技术的复杂性和功能发生了重大变化和发展，人们越来越重视理解人与使能技术之间的关系，越来越认识到支持其使用的背景和环境的重要性，以及医疗保健服务和假肢矫形师的专业发展都发生了变化。本叙述性评论的目的是反思 在塑造假肢矫形领域对心理学不断发展的理解中所扮演的角色。在解决全球残疾挑战方面，心理学的发展和应用仍然具有巨大的潜力和机会。然而，如果我们要将心理科学真正纳入假肢和矫形实践的知识体系，就需要对康复心理学的原则进行广泛的解释和应用。
