Lower Extremity Biomechanics

by Stephen F. Albert, Sarah A. Curran, Jeffrey A. Root (Other), William E. Lee (Introduction), Eric A. Fuller (Other)

Overview

Biomechanics is the study of the human body and how it behaves mechanically. This textbook is intended for all who have an interest in how our feet and legs work and particularly for those in the health care community who must remain abreast of the latest information and research. Written by leaders in the field, this books covers in detail current theoretical and applied concepts. You will find Lower Extremity Biomechanics: Theory and Practice Volume 1 a welcomed addition to your professional library.

Editorial Reviews

Drs. Albert and Curran with their outstanding contributors, provide a historical review of the theories of foot biomechanics and the paradigm shifts that have evolved. The text offer an evidenced based approach to biomechanics of the foot and ankle while also providing insight into areas where more research is needed. It is an excellent reference for the library of all practitioners involved in this important area of locomotion including students, residents and fellows.

This biomechanical text is a fantastic resource for foot care specialists in all stages of training and/or practice. Traditionally, there has been a gap between academic biomechanics and what happens in daily clinical practice. This publication serves as an educational resource that bridges that gap. Well done, to all of those who contributed to this much needed publication.

Biomechanics of human gait is a foundation for podiatry. This text provides the reader with the most applicable theories which govern current podiatry thinking, and allows for germination of these ideas into a clinical package from which to practice. Lower Extremity Biomechanics:Theory and Practice Volume 1 by Albert and Curran is a must for any podiatric library."
