outpatient practices, and in the home. The role of the physical

with the necessary knowledge to improve patients' structural
impairments and activity limitations so they can more successfully
participate in life. Nothing could be more challenging and
rewarding. Inside, Drs. Daniel Malone and Kathy Lee Bishop, along

laboratory testing to life supporting equipment. Following this
introduction, each chapter highlights specific organ systems with a

therapy concerns, examination findings, and rehabilitation
interventions are discussed in detail. This Second Edition includes
numerous tables, figures, review questions, and case studies that
