Get UE hand ortho text book for splinting. Great to have around for reference material. My only negative about the product is that the cover is like a thin cardboard/poster board material and it tears easily. I wish this was a hard cover text as it has great material and will be a book I will keep around at work for reference when making splints.
This splint book has been a great asset to our outpatient clinic. It has helped both our students as well as therapists with some of the different types of splints we need to make. It is also a great book that we have used to show patients what their splint will look like when it is finished.
Clear, concise and good illustrations. A really good reference for a therapist who creates splints.I like that it is in spiral bound form. Easier to flip through and lay on a table with book open.Well presented material.
Excellent, would highly recommend this book. This is one of the few school books I have not sold back or gotten rid of after the semester ends. This book contains clinically relevant easy to follow splinting instructions, including the diagnoses for each type of splint and easy to follow directions for fabrication. I would highly recommend this book as a resource for OT students as well as experienced clinicians. The layout and design of book is well organized and very user friendly. Does not contain extra "fluff" like many textbooks. Easy to look up the exact splint or keyword you are trying to find. This edition provides alternative methods and designs for fabricating orthoses utilizing neoprene and customizing prefab options. Highly recommend.
Orthotic Intervention for the Hand and Upper Extremity should be part of everyone's library who treats the upper extremity. The information is very clear and concise. The pictures and diagrams are amazing! Overall, this is a well organized and thought out book with a fascinating list of contributors.
I would highly recommend this title as a resource for the beginner to the experienced clinician. The reader will have not only have access to clear and concise instructions for fabrication but also numerous illustrations. The layout and design of book is well though out and allows for quick look ups. This edition provides alternative methods and designs for fabricating orthoses utilizing neoprene and customizing prefab options. Whether you are looking for a reference for stabilizing an uncomplicated digit fracture or fabrication of mobilization orthoses, this is it!! A must-have for the clinician tool box!
This is a great resource for the novice to the experienced clinician. The information is set out in a clear and concise manner and is easy to reference. The chapters provide a detailed overview of the topic with great photos throughout the book. I would recommend this for daily clinical use but also as a required read for all therapists treating the upper extremity!
As a newer clinician this book is a great resource and guideline for all splinting and clinically related hand questions one may have!
