Customer Reviews

Excellent

I am a physiatrist specialized in musculoskeletal pain from Lima, Peru, and I can say that this book is a wonderful review of rehabilitatión in orthopaedic surgery. It has plenty of protocols very useful as guides of our treatments. Of course each patient is different and each pathology has its unique features, but after a careful medical evaluation one can fit the protocol for every individual clinical case. Fantastic work!

Excellent Rehab Book

This book is an excellent resource for any Certified Athletic Trainer, experienced or entry-level. Several rehab protocols are outlined for many common injuries seen in athletics as well as the general population. There is a general review of anatomy as well that proves helpful.

Congratulations Brent & Kevin!!! A really excellent work!

The new edition 2003 of this book compared with the old one of 1996, has a lot of new chapters in rehabilitation with a lot of photos of rehabilitation exercises and methods writting by an excellent, well - known physical therapist Kevin Wilk. It covers a lot of topics in modern Orthopaedic rehabilitation. With personal experiences of 25 years treating patients, I recomend this book to all Physical Therapists in Greece!!!

Awesome orthopedic reference

This book is an awesome reference for outpatient rehab progression. Provides conservative through aggresive rehab protocols. Allows for comparison of various protocols

This is an outstanding reference of rehabilitation protocols

Clinical Orthopedic Rehabilitation offers numerous protocols for specific injuries and surgical techniques. It is an excellent supplement to basic rehabilitation books. Information on the basic principles of rehabilitation is limited but it a great tool for an experienced certified athletic trainer or physical therapist to use in developing and implementing protocols. It is also written and referenced by leaders in the field of orthopedics, offering a few different protocols for each injury/surgical technique discussed.
