Atlas of Orthoses and Assistive Devices, 5th Edition, is a clinical reference book designed to help physiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons, orthotists, prosthetists, and rehabilitation specialists collaborate on selecting orthotic devices for patients.
The volume addresses foundational principles of prescription, materials science, and gait analysis alongside biomechanical considerations for spinal, upper limb, and lower limb orthoses. It also covers pediatric orthotics for congenital and acquired conditions as well as mobility aids and broader assistive technologies.
The 2017 edition incorporates developments in materials science, 3D printing, and microprocessor technologies, while introducing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems in relation to assistive technology and orthotics. Every chapter includes a Key Points feature to assist clinical decision-making.
