Casebook of Orthopedic Rehabilitation (eBook, PDF)

Including Virtual Reality

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a companion text to Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Assessment, and Enablement by the same author, but can be used independently. Through real life examples, it illustrates the rehabilitation ideas and principles taught in the companion text, ranging from conditions seen daily by the orthopedic surgeon or primary care physician to more challenging conditions. It also covers newer paradigm shifts in the management of osteoporosis and new technologies like vertebral fracture assessment by the use of state-of-the-art DXA machines.

In addition, the book introduces the reader to the vast applications of computers in orthopedic surgery, with special emphasis on the emerging importance of virtual reality in all aspects of orthopedics. Coverage ends by stressing the importance of tele-rehabilitation, an emerging tool that helps patients living in far away rural areas participate in rehabilitation guided by a therapist through the use of virtual environment and teleconferencing.
