Description
Appropriate and well maintained orthoses can greatly enhance the lives of physically handicapped people. This atlas is an illustrative guide to modern orthotic use. The book concentrates on principles rather than direct application of individual devices and so will not be limited by geographical differences in orthotic usage. This book should be of interest to lecturers and senior lecturers in academic departments of bioengineering/biomechanical engineering, prosthetics and orthotics, postgraduate and undergraduate students studying these disciplines, also physical therapists, orthotists, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and rehabilitation engineers and specialists.
