It also covers orthoses for paraplegia and hip disorders, trunk and cervical support, and orthotic considerations for burns and other soft-tissue conditions. The clinical workflow emphasizes goal setting, treatment planning, and appropriate use of evaluation procedures, supported by references and resources for materials, components, and professional organizations.","Orthotics  \nA Comprehensive Clinical Approach  \nJoan E.
