"This is the all-encompassing book for adult rehabilitation and is a must-have for all clinicians (especially student rehabilitation professionals) treating adults."

-- Christopher Blessing, MS, MPT, OCS, CSCS (Penn Medicine - Princeton Health) Doody's Review

Audience

The book "is intended to serve as a primary textbook for professional level physical therapy students and as an important resource for practicing therapists as well for other rehabilitation professionals." The audience includes practicing and student rehabilitation professionals (PT, OT, etc.). This has been a staple of the curriculum since I was a student in 1997-98, and the authors continue to improve on this masterful textbook for all clinicians.
