Well this book ruined my life. Basically I couldn’t read a single book for 2 months!!! Because I had to pass this stupid test, where guess what? I hardly even passed! It does get points for helping me pass at all tho, so 2 stars! Yay I’ve read at this point so many medical books but only this one will get noted on my Goodreads account due to the deep suffering I’ve experienced from it. My only wish is that I never read this one ever again.
Excellent source for the Neurological PT and I still use it as a great source as an Orthopedic PT who treats patients with secondary Neurological issues. Excellent explanations and information for DPT's and/or PT's who strive for knowledge that impacts evaluations, treatments and excellent care. I hand it to all my students who work with my head ache patients to gain important information about distinguishing red flags, medical emergencies, to learn how to differentiate what we can and can not treat. Very important reference for any clinician and professional to not just read but understand. It's one of my few "Bibles" for work.
