Prosthetics and Patient Management: A Comprehensive Clinical Approach is an innovative text covering both upper and lower extremity prosthetics. All the information clinicians need to manage a range of patients with amputations and their disorders is available in this practical and all-inclusive text. Kevin Carroll and Joan E. Edelstein, together with internationally recognized leaders, present a multidisciplinary team approach to the care of a patient with an amputation. Prosthetics and Patient Management covers practical solutions to everyday problems that clinicians encounter, from early prosthetic management to issues facing the more advanced user. The text is divided into four sections encompassing the range of subjects that confront practitioners including Early Management; Rehabilitation of Patients with Lower Limb Amputation; Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper Limb Amputations; and Beyond the Basics, which includes special considerations for children and futuristic concepts. Prosthetics and Patient Management will provide expert guidance for dealing with a wide array of patients and is a must-have for clinicians and students in physical therapy, certified prosthetists, and orthopedists interested in the wide-ranging field of prosthetics and amputations.
