In
one volume, here's everything the podiatrist needs to know
about the principles and practice of treating the foot. Clinical
Skills in Treating the Foot covers the traditional
and modern methods for managing foot conditions with emphasis
on the need for a holistic approach, providing an understanding
of the role of other health care professionals in this area
of therapy.The reader can use this text to design individually
tailored holistic health plans built on the results of clinical
examinations and assessment. Case studies make it easier for
the reader to apply theory to practice and the structure of
the book is designed to facilitate learning, revision and
ready reference. And the liberal use of illustrations and
learning devices makes the text more readable and accessible.
Clinical Skills in Treating the Foot looks at all appropriate
methods of clinical management based on the following 5 basic
principles: - pharmacology - operative techniques (subcutaneous
and percutaneous methods) - mechanical therapies - physical
therapies - footwear adaptation Details of pathology are considered
where this helps to explaining why one method of treatment
may be preferable to another. Relevant physiology, pharmacology
and orthopaedic principles are discussed or referred to as
necessary, although the book is not intended to supplant the
need for textbooks on these subjects.
