Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Orthotics and prosthetics is a unique component of the healthcare field that involves designing and fitting artificial limbs, braces, and other devices. Professionals in the field are often referred to as "O&P Practitioners." They work closely with people who have suffered from accidents, injuries, cancer, or other diseases, helping return them to an acceptable quality of life. Although related, orthotics and prosthetics are not the same. Orthotics involves the design and fabrication of external braces (orthoses) as part of a patient's treatment process. The orthotic device helps control weakened or deformed regions of the body including the upper and lower limbs, cranium, or spine. The most common orthotic devices are back braces and shoe inserts needed to live a more comfortable life. Orthotic intervention can be life changing - or even lifesaving - for patients with scoliosis, severe neck injuries, or cerebral palsy. Rather than supporting body parts, prosthetics involves replacing them. A prosthetist designs, creates, and fits artificial limbs on patients who are missing all or part of a limb. Creating a prosthesis requires a unique combination of art and technical skill. The prosthesis itself is much more complex than it may appear. It requires appropriate materials, alignment, design, and construction to match the functional needs of the individual that can vary greatly. Lower limb prostheses typically address stability in standing and walking, shock absorption, and aesthetics. In the case of patients who want to engage in athletic activities, the device must meet even more extraordinary functional needs. Upper limb prostheses are no less complex. You do not know how extraordinary the human hand is until you no longer are able to reach, grasp, and manipulate objects. These devices can aid in the activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, and grooming. They can also be made to address specific occupational challenges such as hammering, painting, or writing. A career in the field of prosthetics and orthotics can be very satisfying, both personally and professionally. Because of the work that orthotists and prosthetists do, patients who could not previously dance, lift everyday objects, or partake in the seemingly simple act of walking now have increased mobility and less pain. The job outlook in this field is excellent! Job opportunities abound throughout the country, and the need for orthotic and prosthetic professionals is increasing rapidly. Nearly 30 percent of the current practitioners are over the age of 50 and will be entering retirement soon. As obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases continue to rise in America, there is more need than ever for people with this special skill set. Further, it is one of the few professions that can boast a 100 percent employment rate. Most people who enter the field choose to remain within it for life. As an O&P professional you can make a difference every day! If you are interested in making a positive impact on people's lives, and entering a rapidly evolving unique health science career where the employment demand is exceptional, you may want to consider orthotics and prosthetics.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A YOUNG MOTHER STRUGGLES WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. A teenager sustains a concussion playing football. A soldier loses a leg. A child is born with cerebral palsy. An elderly man suffers a stroke. Thanks to the efforts of physical therapists, the young mother can now hold her child without fear of falling. The teenager is no longer experiencing dizziness and headaches. The soldier learns to walk normally with a prosthesis. The child takes her first step. The elderly man regains function and resumes daily activities. Physical therapists, sometimes called PTs, play a major role in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of people with all kinds of injuries, illnesses, and chronic conditions. The most common goal is to help people improve their movement and manage their pain. Treatment plans may include a combination of exercise, traction, mobilization, muscle manipulation, ultrasound, electrotherapy, vestibular training, motor development, and patient education. Assistive and adaptive devices may be used, such as crutches, wheelchairs, orthotics, and prosthetics. An important component of physical therapy is teaching an individual how to move or perform particular tasks in ways that will speed recovery and prevent further injury. Physical therapy, which has been evolving for more than 200 years, can treat a wider range of problems with greater success than ever before. Today, there are many different kinds of physical therapy. Which kind is needed depends on the type of health problem. For example, a patient recovering from a heart attack needs different care than an athlete with a sports injury. Physical therapists are trained to be able to treat all kinds of patients. Because there are so many different kinds, many PTs specialize in one particular area, such as orthopedics or pediatrics. A physical therapist can become board certified in any of nine areas, but there are many more specialties that can be practiced without certification. Physical therapists must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and become licensed to practice in their state. In total, it takes seven years of intense schooling after high school graduation to get to that point. Is it worth the time and hard work? Absolutely, say those in the field. In fact, physical therapy has been consistently ranked among the best careers to pursue. At a glance, the over 35 percent job growth over the next 10 years is exceptional. PTs are needed everywhere and the demand is far outpacing supply. Salaries are also good, generally ranging from $85,000 to $100,000 a year. The single reason most PTs are happy in their careers is the enormous satisfaction they get from helping people return to normal, fulfilling lives. Are you looking for a career that offers great job security and the opportunity to earn a comfortable living? If you are compassionate, patient, and physically fit, read on. Physical therapy may be what you are looking for. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
