Book excerpt: A comprehensive text on the anatomy, pathomechanics, and treatment of the foot and ankle, for students and clinicians. It contains 13 chapters in three sections: biomechanics of the foot and ankle, biomechanical evaluation, and treatment approaches to restore normal movement. This revised and updated edition (first was 1990) deliberates on the concept of the foot as an important part of the lower kinetic chain. Two new chapters have been added, on closed kinetic chain and gait, and on the application of kinetic chain rehabilitation in the lower extremities.
