The instructional videos also emphasize the application of biomechanical, anatomic, and clinical constructs in orthotic design, fabrication, and evaluation. The textbook and video content work together enabling students and entry-level practitioners to learn with visual and versatile resources. University faculty members will gain access to ample activities and exercises to augment their classroom and laboratory teaching. This allows for more efficient use of time and appeals to the learning styles of current and future students.
This text includes:
- Chapters devoted to specific type of orthosis for parts of the upper extremity linked to step -by -step instructional videos
- Case studies to promote a grasp of the knowledge and application to the development of clinical reasoning skills
- Multiple choice and short answer review questions and activities for most chapters
- Presentation of current evidence to support the use of the specific orthoses in clinical practice
- Patterns that can be replicated and check out sheets to critique each orthosis
The combination of text materials and instructional video material makes Orthotic Design and Fabrication for the Upper Extremity: A Practical Guide a uniquely valuable resource for occupational therapy students, new graduates, and novice clinicians.
