Clinical Skills in Treating the Foot-2판(2005)

Description
The eagerly awaited new edition of Clinical Skills in Treating the
Foot has been revised and updated with the needs of a broad range of
health professionals in mind. For anyone treating patients with foot
disorders, Clinical Skills in Treating the Foot will provide
invaluable support through three key areas: Section 1 is concerned
with the general principles of managing foot disorders and the
context in which treatment of the foot takes place. Included are
chapters on treatment planning, evidence based practice, governance
and audit, clinical protocols, clinical emergencies and health
promotion. Section 2 examines the application of clinical
therapeutics to foot disease and includes chapters on operative
techniques, surgery and the foot, pharmacology, physical therapy,
mechanical therapeutics, chairside devices, prescription devices and
footwear therapy. Section 3 considers the particular needs of special
groups and includes chapters on the adult foot, the child’s foot,
sports injuries and management of tissue viability. With its clarity
of text and liberal use of case studies and illustrations, the latest
edition of Clinical Skills will be required reading for practising
and student podiatrists. It will also be a valuable reference and
guide for all others involved in the provision of treatment of the
foot. This book has been written as a companion volume to the
editors’ Assessment of the Lower Limb, also published by Elsevier
Churchill Livingstone.
