Great book; lots of helpful case studies. We didn't read all chapters of this book in my OTA physical disabilities course but it was written differently than our other textbooks and listed the information in an alternate way, which was refreshing, informative, and created a better overall learning experience. The case studies helped to relate info to real life and get a better idea of what these disorders, injuries, and treatments actually look like in practice.

Great product and fast delivery

Great condition! Thanks!
