About this title

Synopsis

Conditioning With Physical Disabilities is the first practical, authoritative exercise guide for all classifications and levels of physical disabilities. In this easy-to-read manual, Kevin Lockette and Ann Keyes, physical therapists and certified strength and conditioning specialists, share the successful exercise prescriptions they created at the highly regarded Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Their pioneering strength and conditioning program offers safe and easy-to-use exercises specifically designed for people with physical disabilities.

In this book readers will find conditioning activities that enable people with various physical disabilities to enjoy the benefits of exercise:

� Improved overall functioning

� Fewer medical problems

� Greater stamina in everyday activities

� Enhanced self-esteem and confidence

Step-by-step descriptions and more than 250 illustrations show how to perform the exercises correctly. And because the programs are tailored to specific disabilities and levels of functioning, virtually anyone�regardless of disability�will be able to use the programs without fear of injury.
