Abstract

This chapter discusses four main areas that clinicians should understand to improve the effectiveness of orthopedic rehabilitation. The first part is about the biomechanical factors that affect orthopedic rehabilitation process. The second part is about the types of exercises during orthopedic rehabilitation and their underlying biomechanical principles. The third part is about how to apply these biomechanical principles to manage common orthopedic disorders. The fourth part is about the biomechanical guidelines for the use of assistive devices during orthopedic rehabilitation.
