Description
Orthotic Design and Fabrication for the Upper Extremity is a comprehensive practical guide for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and orthotists. Authors Katherine Schofield and Deborah Schwartz draw on their extensive clinical experience to present clear, accessible instruction on designing and fabricating orthotics for the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
The book covers fundamental principles of orthotic design, material selection, and construction techniques alongside detailed case studies and clinical applications. Readers will learn how to assess patient needs, select appropriate orthotic interventions, and customize devices for optimal outcomes. The guide emphasizes evidence-based practice and includes practical tips for problem-solving common fabrication challenges.
With step-by-step instructions, helpful illustrations, and real-world examples, this resource serves as both a learning tool for students and a reference guide for practicing clinicians treating upper extremity dysfunction.
