This CD-ROM provides a thorough analysis of the importance of orthotic management in achieving patient rehabilitation. Authors Jan Bruckner and Joan E. Edelstein utilize an interactive format to display a wide range of specific orthoses and show how they can be used to assist patients. The CD-ROM is divided into four sections: a library of orthoses, guidelines for orthotic evaluations, case studies of patients using orthoses, and a self-assessment quiz written in the format of the physical therapy licensing examination. Each section was developed to provide information about orthoses and guidance for successful clinical management. Users are able to understand the diversity and range of current appliances using this multi-media format, enhancing their ability to apply the knowledge and make informed clinical decisions. This is a valuable resource to teach the positive impact appropriate orthotic interventions can have on the rehabilitation process and improving patient function. Both clinicians and students should benefit from this effective approach to patient rehabilitation.
