Main description:

Orthosis has emerged as a promising way of treating spinal disorders in recent years. There have been few publications, however, on the orthotic management of spinal conditions. Spine and Spinal Orthosis is a compilation of anatomy, biomechanics, pathological conditions of spine and their orthotic management.

This handbook describes the complicated aspects of orthotic management of spinal disorders in a concise and comprehensible manner. Essential, evidence based guidelines on orthotic and prosthetic prescription are also provided.

Spine and Spinal Orthosis also includes 136 illustrations and a description of the pathological conditions of the spine.

Spine and Spinal Orthosis will assist clinicians, rehabilitation medicine consultants and orthopaedic surgeons in choosing the method of orthotic management, most suitable for their patients.
