Clinical Orthotics and Prosthetics is a practical, principle-based guide to the rehabilitation of patients who use braces and artificial limbs. Rather than cataloguing devices, it teaches the reasoning behind them—moving from the mechanics of force, leverage, and tissue tolerance, through gait analysis and patient assessment, to the orthoses and prostheses used at every level of the body, and finally to the evidence, technology, and systems that underlie modern practice.
Across eighteen chapters, the book covers the foundations of the field; orthotic management from the foot to the spine and upper limb; amputation, socket design, componentry, and prosthetic training for every level; complications and special populations; and evidence-based clinical reasoning. Clear diagrams and quick-reference tables support each topic, and a consistent theme runs throughout: keep the person, not the device, at the centre of care.
Written for physical therapy students, orthotists, prosthetists, and rehabilitation clinicians, this is a readable, whole-person introduction to a demanding field.
