Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a manual on an innovative approach to clubfoot treatment, marks a significant departure from historic treatment methods. The author, an esteemed orthopedic surgeon, argues that most clubfoot cases originate in paralysis rather than spasticity. Accordingly, he advocates for treatment that includes applying constant force to take the place of paralyzed muscles, along with galvanism, friction, and manipulation. This approach aims to rectify deformities without resorting to tenotomy. The book emphasizes the crucial role of motion in treatment, recognizing its benefits for circulation, nutrition, and muscle development. It challenges the use of methods that impede movement, such as plaster casts or complicated machinery, and introduces an improved clubfoot shoe designed to provide motion and ease of application. The book's insights have revolutionized clubfoot treatment, offering a more effective and humane approach that prioritizes the restoration of natural movement and function.
