The American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) published this journal from 1946 through 1988. Earlier volumes went under the names The Journal of OALMA (1946-1951) Orthopedic & Prosthetic Appliance Journal (1952-1967). The name was ultimately changed to Orthotics and Prosthetics in 1967. AOPA now publishes the O&P Almanac, a monthly magazine for the O&P field.
