Description
Practical Biomechanics for the Podiatrist, from Dr. Richard Blake, is divided into four sections focusing on podiatry.
The first section reviews the types of functional foot orthotic devices in the industry, their uses, and how Dr. Blake would order them. The emphasis is on the function of functional foot orthotic devices. Using a classification of orthoses, Dr. Blake encourages readers to examine two key questions: What function do we want the orthosis to have? What functional change to the patient's biomechanics do we want to accomplish?
The second chapter explores the field of CAGA, or computer-assisted gait analysis, by the esteemed Dr. Joseph D'Amico. Dr. D'Amico, affiliated with the Department of Orthopedics/Pediatrics at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and a former chairman, eloquently describes the history and clinical application of computer-assisted gait analysis. With over 40 years of experience in treating patients biomechanically, he considers CAGA priceless for biomechanical treatment. His review includes pressure analysis, temporal data, and waveform analysis, providing readers with a deep understanding of current market offerings.
The third chapter reviews various shoe modifications and styles that help make patients more stable and reduce pain.
The fourth chapter presents 23 case histories of real patients in Dr. Blake's practice, illustrating how to approach these patients with a biomechanical mindset. This chapter integrates information from the series' first three books and aims to draw the teaching series to a close.
