Special Features Include an easy-to-use format, including enlarged illustrations which correspond to each exercise instruction; over 350 exercises that include clear, step-by-step instructions to explain purpose and procedure, and allow you to indicate the appropriate repetition and frequency for each patient; and over 150 concisely drawn illustrations enable you to highlight body areas involved in performing the exercises and correct positioning. Section One includes instructions on performing a variety of exercises the patient can accomplish at home.

This section details the materials needed, methods of preparation and application, and any necessary precautions to be taken by the patient. Section Three covers the syndromes associated with specific physical conditions, describing special exercises designed for conditions ranging from arthritis to vascular disorders. Section Four presents helpful advice for managing a variety of rehabilitative challenges. The proper use of a cane, sensory re-education, improving strength and coordination in the arms, hands and fingers and teaching activities of daily living to the amputee are just a few.
