- 1964: The Bulletin of Prosthetics Research (BPR), the first in-house Veterans Administration medical journal, published its premier issue and continued for the next 18 years, through 1982.
- 1983: BPR was expanded into JRRD, which has been published continuously since 1983. From the first issue, JRRD's scope of coverage was more inclusive than BPR's, including assistive technology (wheelchairs, hearing and reading devices, computers as speech aids), spinal cord injury, prosthetics and orthotics, postsurgical amputation management, and gait restoration.
