Excellent Reference Book On Many Related Issues by Douglas P. Murphy (Charlottesville)  4 Stars
March 21, 2009
This book attempts and I think succeeds in providing a comprehensive review of the subject of amputations and prosthetics. It covers the subject from the academic, practical and theoretical viewpoints. The primary sections of the book cover an introductory and historical perspective followed by sections on the upper and lower limbs, and then finally pediatrics. The book does not claim to present all the information available on each subject but does offer excellent references for those who want to look further. The discussions on components are as up-to-date as possible given that this is an evolving area. The sections on gait and gait analysis provide a lot of excellent detail. I would have liked to have read more detail on the myoelectric systems and the methods of proportional control but again there are references. This book would benefit readers with a variety of backgrounds.
