Foot and Ankle Motion Analysis : Clinical Treatment and Technology

Originating as a one-day workshop sponsored by the Shriner’s Hospitals and the National Institutes of Health, this text is a single source reference for the latest assessment technologies and their clinical applications. Presenting basic and advanced clinical applications in pediatric and adult cases, the book also introduces the technological advances themselves from a quantitative perspective. It describes novel approaches and emerging horizons related to mechanical paradigms, imaging, kinetics, robotics and simulation, tri-planar force sensing, and more. The book also includes a chapter of references and sources of support for future research and development prospects.
