Foot Orthoses and Other Forms of Conservative Foot Care is a book by Thomas C. Michaud, DC.
Despite the tremendous increase in the use of foot orthoses, there is still a limited amount of published information concerning the details of their design and fabrication. Dr. Michaud fills this void with a comprehensive perspective on the role of the orthotic including: *Normal and abnormal motion during the gait cycle *Biomechanical examination *Casting techniques *Laboratory preparation and orthotic fabrication *Orthotic dispensing, shoe gear, and clinical problem-solving. Together, this practical information lets you give patients a complete evaluation and the best possible treatment.
