Throughout this textbook, readers will learn how to treat, with the use of therapeutic exercise and related interventions, the impairments that correlate to functional limitations and the disability and to work toward the most optimal function possible. Highlights of this Third Edition include case studies in each chapter and more than 200 new photographs and illustrations.
