Popis: This report is concerned with a male motor bike rider who was injured in a collision with a semi-trailer in June 1974. As a result of his injuries he had his right arm amputated, his right knee restricted, and his right foot partially amputated and pinned. This article presents the subsequent management of the patient which was aimed at achieving an acceptable foot and preventing further breakdown in other body linkages. The design of appliances and treatment were carried out by the physiotherapist, the chiropodist, and the bioengineer.
