 Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics Sale Price: $189.00  Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionThe most outstanding feature of "Biomechanics of Lower Limb Prosthetics" is the demonstration of the practicality of biomechanics, when applied to lower limb prosthetics. Several original concepts are described, one of which, "rolling technology," has been implemented in prosthetic devices, while the principle of "reciprocal anti-resonance in locomotion" addresses future studies. A concept of anthropomorphicity presented by the author is a key tool in planning the design of an artificial limb or its components. Measurement procedures and equipment used in biomechanical laboratories are presented. The book demonstrates how the analysis of biomechanical data is a tool in the decision-making process of a prosthetic designer and clinician. The author shares his experience in the development of a protocol for biomechanics subject trials used in NIH-supported studies. |

He wrote down his story after 35 years of life, experiencing living his life as an amputee. The ordeal started when he was 16 years old. He had very, very little help with the adjustment or life changes that were forced upon him as he became an amputee. There was no support group available for him to attend, and he was never referred for psychological counseling at all. Kevin finds it most interesting and you may agree, that he actually wrote his book to help himself! Yes, he wished someone could have handed him this book and said, Read this son, it will help you!, at the time when he found himself having the saddest feeling that he had ever experienced before in his new life, as an amputee. His true story as he wrote it all down, chronicles his struggle with the unbelievable harshness that life can bring to us at times. In various editorial book reviews the book has been found to be very helpful to the professionals who provide care for people with disabilities, deepening their understanding of the disabled person and the disabled person s adjustment to life after disability occurs. |
