Foreword from a Clinical Biomechanist, Applied Physiologist and
Prosthetist teaching graduate students in Prosthetics &
Orthotics. While there are many books on Biomechanics, arguably the
quintessential science of limb prosthetics, none addresses the
fundamental principles in sufficient detail and depth to be
practically useful to the prosthetist, rehabilitation specialist or
researcher. Dr. Pitkin's monograph is an exemplary collection of
theoretical principles from his research and o- ers, presented in
its clinical and applied biomechanics form. The textbook provides
an excellent overview of the many facets of lower limb prosthetic
design and engineering for the ardent clinician researcher and
student. The book delves into many of the basic concepts that are
required knowledge for the clinician and the scientist to have as
the foundation for their work. Dr. Pitkin has an e- quent manner in
which he reflects on the history and literature to tell the storied
evolution of prosthetic design . He takes the reader on a journey
to consider his theories, which have substantive foundations to
contemplate. By the end of chapter one, we have the basic h- tory
and an appreciation for the rationale behind the "rolling joint
ankle" with evidence to support his theoretical views.
