description

In this undated photograph, Clausen F. England is shown here fitting and building artificial limbs and braces for persons who needed them in order to lead a normal life. The making of the first prosthetics at Bowman Gray School of Medicine began in 1958 by William Hancock who was a member of a new service clinic opened for amputees. Prosthetics, which is the making of artificial limbs and orthotics, the making of braces, was a unit of the section on orthopedics at the medical school. In August 1969 a special laboratory was opened across the street from the hospital at 1911 Beach street, as a place to make these products. England was the second maker of the prosthetics and orthotics at the school. In 1971, he was named director of a five-day postgraduate course, designed for vocational rehabilitation counselors, and continued to be the limb maker.
