Industry Reviews

"The strength of this text lies in its truly comprehensible coverage of lower-limb considerations in P&O, with a focus on breadth rather than depth. The authors' ability to condense this material into a text less than 200 pages long is admirable. Further, the text of the book is well supported by clear and current photographs and illustrations."

- Phil Stevens, Med, CPO, FAAOP, American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists

"This is an excellent resource for clinicians in training. I would definitely have enjoyed using it during my residency training. It is also a good reference for practicing clinicians."

- Leslie K. Rydberg, MD, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, Doody Enterprises, Inc.

"In summary the book includes many important factors in the rehabilitation of lower limb amputees and would be a useful addition to libraries."

- Louise Johnson, Physiotherapy
