Reviews

The book aims to define the broad knowledge base required to inform research on transtibial prosthetic management. ... a fair job of surveying a considerable body of knowledge and presenting it in an easily readable manner appropriate for engineers and biomechanists new to the transtibial prosthetic patient population. While the vast majority of prosthetic-oriented books focus on their clinical aspects, the engineering and research focus of this one likely will appeal to those working in academic and product development settings.
