Orthopedic Rehabilitation, Assessment, and Enablement

This text covers every aspect of musculoskeletal system rehabilitation. It extends even further into such topics as alternative medicine, holistic therapies, acupuncture, neurophysiologic testing, overuse injuries, work assessment, and outcome measures. Each chapter covers the basic science of the subject, clinical assessments as well as rehabilitation options, methods, and their outcomes. A completely new look on the important topic of geriatric hip rehabilitation is included. While the information throughout the text is presented in a highly structured and concise manner, the subjects are covered in extraordinary detail.
