Reseña del editor:

This volume provides information about modern orthoses designed to guide the student and clinician in the prescription and utilization of orthoses in neuromuscular, musculoskeletal and integumentary rehabilitation. The text is divided into four sections: ""Introduction to Orthoses"", which includes modern materials and biomechanical principles, ""Orthoses for the Lower Limb"", ""Orthoses of the Trunk and Neck"" and ""Orthoses for the Upper Limb"". Individual chapters cover orthoses for the foot, ankle, knee, hip, back, neck, shoulder, eblow, wrist and hand. Orthoses for paraplegia, burns and soft tissue contractures are detailed and illustrated. Prescription guidelines, evaluation techniques, goal setting and training procedures are presented. Each chapter includes ""thought"" questions and case studies to promote clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills. A useful 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 aims to inspire broader thinking about clinical management.
