New edition of a text on the rehabilitation management of adult patients. The initial three chapters examine clinical decision making, psychosocial concomitants to disability and rehabilitation, and the influence of values on patient care, thus directing the reader early on to develop an understanding of the whole patient and to build effective problem-solving skills. Subsequent chapters focus on procedures used in assessment of patients with physical impairments and disabilities, general treatment strategies for improving motor control and motor learning and gait, common conditions encountered in general practice together with appropriate examination and intervention strategies, and vestibular rehabilitation. Special topics include prosthetics, orthotics, the prescriptive wheelchair, and biofeedback. Edited by O'Sullivan (physical therapy, U. of Massachusetts Lowell) and Schmitz (physical therapy, Long Island U.). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
