Helpful illustrations. Certain techniques described have needed clarification or modification by professors in class, but I would still recommend it as a useful resource.

5 Stars
March 29, 2004
I found this book is very helpful in providing information in a concise manner without too much detail. It is a great reference book for spinal cord injury information at your fingertips as well as a great resource for board exam preparation. For the therapist not working in a spinal cord injury setting but needs information of this nature at hand, perfect book. Also provides up to date information on wheelchair assessments.
