Excerpt from Description of the Orthopaedic Apparatus Employed in the Treatment of Deformities and Deficiencies of the Human Body: With Directions for Taking Measurements for Their ApplicationHaving been frequently consulted by physicians and others living at a distance, as to the mode of taking measurements for the construction of mechanical contrivances for the treatment of deformities and deficiencies of the body, I have been induced to prepare this catalogue, which contains accurate directions in these particulars, so that blunders cannot possibly occur if these directions are properly followed.The forms of instruments described are of the most approved kinds, and embrace the most recent advances and discoveries in mechanical therapeutics, as exhibited in the latest and most elaborate works on this subject. They are sanctioned by the large mass of practising surgeons, as shown in Prof. Gross' System of Surgery, and in Dr. Wales' Mechanical Therapeutics, in which works fuller accounts of these apparatus may be found.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
