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.

Lower Extremity Biomechanics: Theory and Practice is a written testimony to the fact that the input of podiatry into this constantly developing area is still healthy and vibrant. It is also a further testimony to the expertise and the knowledge which has been developed over the years by the pedorthic profession. This dedicated community of professional practitioners complement the foot care provided by the physician practicing in numerous fields ranging from diabetology, rheumatology, occupational medicine, sports medicine, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Such an inter-disciplinary marriage of theory and practical approach must therefore surely be a welcome contribution to the literature.

Written by leaders in the field, this book covers in detail current theoretic and applied concepts. You will find Lower Extremity Biomechanics: Theory and Practice a welcomed addition to your professional library.
