Orthotics: Institution (CD-ROM)

Orthotics: A Comprehensive Interactive Tutorial is a thorough analysis of orthotic management for patients with lower- and upper-limb, and spinal disorders. Created by Jan Bruckner, PhD, PT and Joan E. Edelstein, MA, PT, FISPO, co-authors of the best-selling book, Orthotics: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach, the new CD-ROM utilizes an interactive format to display a wide range of orthoses on and off patients. The CD-ROM presents a library of lower-limb, spinal and cervical, and upper-limb orthoses, evaluations of orthoses on and off patients, six case studies, and a self-assessment quiz written in the format of the physical therapy licensure examination. Users will easily understand the functions of a broad range of current appliances. Locks are engaged and unlocked, mechanical joints move, and donning procedures are shown. Orthotics: A Comprehensive Interactive Tutorial is the ideal resource to present in action form the ways that orthotic interventions impact the rehabilitation process. Both clinicians and students will enhance their ability to make informed clinical decisions with this unique presentation.
