"Orthotics: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach" is an innovative and
comprehensive new text that provides essential information about
contemporary orthoses to guide the student and clinician in
prescribing and utilizing these appliances in neuromuscular,
musculoskeletal, and integumentary rehabilitation.
Written by recognized authorities in the field, Joan Edelstein,
MA, PT, FISPO and Jan Bruckner, PhD, PT, this is a prime resource
for practitioners and clinicians.
Individual chapters cover orthoses for the foot, ankle, knee,
hip, trunk, neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. Orthoses for
patients with paraplegia, burns, and soft tissue contractures are
detailed and illustrated. Prescription guidelines, evaluation
techniques, goal setting, and training procedures are
presented.
Each chapter has interesting "thought" questions and case
studies to promote clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills. A
unique feature of this text is the inclusion of a
point-counterpoint discussion to demonstrate how clinicians can
manage the same patient in different ways. This approach inspires
broader thinking about clinical management.
