Atlas of Orthoses and Assistive Devices-5판

Advances in the material sciences, 3D printing technology, functional electrical stimulation, smart devices and apps,
FES technology, sensors and microprocessor technologies, and more have lately transformed the field of orthotics,
making the prescription of these devices more complex than ever before. Atlas of Orthoses and Assistive Devices, 5th
Edition, brings you completely up to date with these changes, helping physiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons, prosthetists,
orthotists, and other rehabilitative specialists work together to select the appropriate orthotic device for optimal
results in every patient.
뷥rovides an introduction to Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems relating to Assistive Technology (AT) systems and
orthotics.

뷞ncludes Key Points in every chapter so you can quickly access expert guidance.
뷢aintains a valuable balance of content that is essential for both physiatrists and orthopaedic surgeons.
뷖overs state-of-the-art topics in the areas of biomechanics, fabrication techniques, and construction of orthoses with
advanced technologies.

뷞ncorporates an all-new, vibrant full-color design to enhance illustrations and make navigation fast and easy.

뷥laces greater emphasis on carbon fiber materials and lightweight thermoplastics.

뷞ncludes content on 3D printing technology and how it has revolutionized fabrication strategies.

뷚eatures a more in-depth discussion of sensors and microprocessor technologies, advances in FES technology with
respect to orthotics, smart devices and relevant apps, and the use of scanner technology in orthotic fabrication.

뷙xplains new orthotic devices and their indications from acute traumatic situations through chronic rehabilitation
needs.
