a free resource for technicians, orthotists, podiatrists and anyone
else whom may have an interest in this group of industries. It is
the aim of the resource to act as an 'informal' online archive for
the related fields, containing papers, product instruction, research
documents and any other related material (i.e. media articles).
The archive (when sufficient literature
has been gathered) would then be categorised, sourced and posted
to the Internet for global use.
