I am a physiatrist specialized in musculoskeletal pain from Lima, Peru, and I can say that this book is a wonderful review of rehabilitatión in orthopaedic surgery. It has plenty of protocols very useful as guides of our treatments. Of course each patient is different and each pathology has its unique features, but after a careful medical evaluation one can fit the protocol for every individual clinical case.
Fantastic work!

Many of the chapters just talk about protocols
as if Rehab is just as simple as a cook-book
The modern style of approaching each step
in the Rehab process in an evidence based manner
is lacking
Discussion extremely monotonous & lacking a proper
discussion of pros & cons of different therapies

This book is an excellent resource for any Certified Athletic Trainer, experienced or entry-level. Several rehab protocols are outlined for many common injuries seen in athletics as well as the general population. There is a general review of anatomy as well that proves helpful.

This book is a wonderful start when choosing treatments for many different conditions. It provides a short description of pathology including photos. It is also good for setting goals to where patients should be.

The new edition 2003 of this book compared with the old one of 1996, has a lot of new chapters in rehabilitation with a lot of photos of rehabilitation exercises and methods writting by an excellent, well - known physical therapist Kevin Wilk. It covers a lot of topics in modern Orthopaedic rehabilitation. With personal experiences of 25 years treating patients, I recomend this book to all Physical Therapists in Greece!!!
