Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Building on the strengths of Amputations and Prosthetics 2nd Edition, Doctors Bella J. May and Margery Lockard have joined forces to deliver—with superb clarity—a research-based, problem-solving approach to prosthetics and orthotics.A clinical focus with unfolding case studies, stimulating questions, and an outstanding art program of 550 photographs and line illustrations make important concepts easy to understand and apply. You’ll also find a discussion, unique to this text, of the pathology of what necessitates amputations and why you would choose one prosthetic/orthotic over another.

I like this book as it is a great introduction to the sciences of orthotics & prosthetics (O&P). It is a fairly easy read yet covers most essential elements of O&P devices and applications in rehabilitation. Chapter 2 is a very useful and succinct introduction to biomechanics as it relates to O&P. I use this text as required readings for DPT and PTA classes that I teach and encourage other professors interested in O&P sciences to use it as a reference. I feel that it covers most of the foundational concepts of O&P and it seems to help provide students with the practical knowledge of what they will need in practice.O&P students may find the case study approach of the text useful, but it is not as in-depth as texts like Orthotics and Prosthetics in Rehabilitation, 2e which is an excellent text.Practicing ortho-prosthetists will appreciate the section on "Teaching Prosthetic Control" in chapter 7. This makes a good reference for your PT colleagues.Overall a good book, well illustrated, authors have command of the subject material, and the editors only missed two instances of the dreaded so-called word "componentry". But then...I call it O&P and not P&O.

I really like this book, it is short but not to short and gives you what you need to know. I think it will be a great reference book when I get into practice.

Great book.
