Summary: "The purpose of this edition is to provide a comprehensive guide to assist practitioners with design, implementation, alterations, and progressions of rehabilitation programs for patients and clients with musculoskeletal dysfunction. Such dysfunction could occur due to injury, postoperative conditions, as well as due to disuse, or suboptimal or inefficient movement. It is intended for use in musculoskeletal courses that teach students the tenets of clinical decision-making, exercise selection/prescription, and progression in therapeutic interventions and rehabilitation programs, as well as for practicing clinicians seeking novel exercise interventions"-- Provided by publisher.
