Atlas of Orthoses and Assistive Devices (Fifth Edition)
Por
Joseph B. Webster; Douglas Murphy
"This newest edition of the Atlas of Orthoses and Assistive Devices has been driven by the need for an updated publication that captures the significant advances that have occurred in the fields of orthotics, assistive technology, rehabilitation medicine, and orthopedics over the past 10 years. Since its inception, the scope and aim of this publication have evolved greatly over the course of the past 65 years. This new edition reflects the shift in practice that has occurred from the use of traditional bracing materials and fabrication techniques to the development of highly sophisticated and technically advanced orthoses and assistive devices. Technological advances have occurred in materials science, in fabrication techniques with computerized modeling, and through the incorporation of more advanced electrical and computerized systems into the structure and function of orthoses. All of these advances are proceeding at a rapid pace."
