"...This is the most sophisticated, clinically practical, and informative book on lower-extremity Biomechanics to be published in several years...

The concepts and theoretical perspectives reviewed are more sophisticated than those presented in similar books, yet are still basic in nature. This reviewer was quite impressed that the author describes subtalar neutral position without any mention of “folklore” subtalar neutral position (ie, talonavicular congruity). This is the first text published in more than 20 years to properly describe how to find the subtalar neutral reference position.

Foot and Lower Extremity Biomechanics is a good source of information on scientific concept and practical application of those concepts in treatment of mechanically related pathology of the lower extremity. Podiatric medical educational programs would do well to use this book as part of their curricula, despite the fact that the book is not a typical textbook. This collection is “must” reading for podiatric college faculty members as well as all practitioners who treat disorders of the foot. Reading one chapter per day will improve the skills of any clinician."
