Athletic Footwear and Orthotics in Sports Medicine
by Matthew B. Werd & E. Leslie Knight
Paperback: 256 pages
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (August 2008)
Quote:
This concise manual is for sports medicine specialists who want to effectively prescribe footwear and orthotics for the athlete. The book provides a logical approach designed to maximize performance and minimize injury. Introductory chapters address the fundamentals, including athletic foot types, basic biomechanics, and gait evaluation. The reader is then guided step-by-step through the assessment and prescription of shoes, inserts, and orthotics. Socks and lacing are addressed as well. The text is complete with coverage of new technologies and a wealth of sports-specific recommendations. Evidence-based medicine is incorporated where relevant to demonstrate the correlation between recommendations and outcomes. Referral and coding and billing are also noted. In addition, a full complement of photographs and drawings clearly illustrates key concepts. By presenting essential information in a convenient and easily accessible format, this book will prove to be invaluable for sports medicine physicians, podiatrists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and other specialists when making footwear recommendations for athletes.

The chapter I wrote last year for this soon to be published book is titled, “Evolution of Foot Orthoses in Sports: Biomechanical Effects”. Should be a good book.

Has anyone else ordered this book? I ordered it from Amazon (.co.uk) on 12 September 2008, not long after first reading this thread, and over a year later am still waiting for it. The estimate dispatch/delivery date has been continuously changed/extended, and is currently telling me I will have it between 5-10 May 2010. I don't think I've ever waited 20 months for a book before...

Anyone got any inside info on what the deal is?

Ian
