The text included in this manuscript is of prime and great relevance to the Orthotic and Prosthetic field. Even psychological and pharmacological aspects are included. Divided into three sections it clearly and simply illustrates practically all aspects of the Orthotic and Prosthetic field. Under the sections are a variety of chapters written by experts of that specific field.
