Physiatry: Orthoses, Prostheses and Technical Aids | Treatise on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Un tratado médico, clínico y de ingeniería aplicada que aborda las bases biomecánicas, las clasificaciones ortésicas, la restitución quirúrgica y protésica, así como el despliegue de tecnologías de asistencia. El documento analiza desde los fenómenos de deformación viscoelástica del parénquima musculoesquelético y las ecuaciones de transferencia de carga cinemática, hasta los protocolos detallados de diseño,…
