Description
THERAPEUTIC FOOTWEAR: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE gives authoritative and wide-ranging information to health professionals concerned with the
prescribing and fitting of surgical and corrective footwear. Wendy Tyrrell and Gwenda Carter have combined their many years of teaching
and clinical experience to produce a textbook that is accessible, clear and without doubt the most definitive account of the subject
currently available. Broad in scope, the text ranges through patient assessment, suitability of styles, retail and bespoke footwear,
orthoses, measuring and fitting, all from the relatively simple to the most complex of cases. There is no other available single resource
that offers such complete support and guidance to practitioners who wish to prescribe, fit and assess the effectiveness of therapeutic
footwear.
Audience
Practising and trainee podiatrists.
