A must for occupational therapy practitioners...
Here it is. The latest update for physical disability science within occupational therapy. Whether you are a current student in need of another source, or an experienced practitioner with a desire to go back and check the basics. This updated book will have more than one topic to get you up to speed. I love it, and frequently reference it. It's also nice to know that added emphasis is placed on realistic case studys throughout the book.
Enjoy!!

Great Resource
This book allows you to get a good visual understanding on how physical dysfunction is effected by injury in the brain. It is a great compliment reading to my neuro text.

Great Price and Fast Shipping!
I really do not have a review about the book. I have a friend who needed it for a college course and asked me to get it for her. I searched and amazon had it for a great price and it was here in just a couple of days. Sellers on ebay could not match the price for a hardcover textbook, they only had softcover for the same price.
Thank You!
