Critics Review
5 Stars! “…an introduction to orthotics, including methods to fabricate and use orthotics as an intervention in clinical practice, but also concepts related to clinical reasoning and utilization of orthotics within hand therapy intervention. There are helpful structural elements which include clinical examples or case studies, images of orthotic application, and use of pop-out boxes with evidence-based practice. Each chapter highlights key terms, and the book includes appendices with learning tools, such as self-tests and checklists for splinting guidelines…. This book meets objectives in an exceptional manner and provides a wealth of information, clinical relevance, descriptive images, learning tools and supporting evidence…. This is a high-quality book and is useful for an audience interested in learning about orthosis for the upper extremity.” Review by Megan Kenney, MOT, OTR/L (VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System). ©Doody’s Review Service, 2026. Doody’s Score: 100, 5 Stars!
