I love this book. A lot of Pathology information on pretty much everything you'll see in the clinical setting. There is a lot of relevant info in the implications sections that can help you with your thought processes if you encounter more complex pathologies. It also follows the Guide to PT Practice, which is what all the questions on the board exam and clinical specialty exams are based on. I did dock one star due to it not listing or making small references to some tests or measures used for some cardiopulmonary and neuro pathologies, and also having some heavy repetition in some topics. Overall this is quite a hefty book and is the thickest book on my bookshelf, but it is very useful and has enough info to understand at a professional level mostly any complex patient pathology you may see in any setting.
This book is MASSIVE, just a heads up.
I received this book in great condition, exactly like the description said I would!
This is a huge book but had been a great reference for my patio class so far.
This book was very helpful. Very in depth while remaining clear and concise.
Came in with good time and looks great thank you
