2008 Update of PNF

The clear writing with precise illustrated figures makes this a useful text and tool for patient care. That being said my only personal question is of figure 9.10b which shows considerable rotation for a C2 fracture the neck chapter does not comment on this. It may be a seated derivative of the Neck lateral flexion with extension bias technique illustrated but I wouldn't assume anything with a cervical fracture.

PNF in Practice

This is a very good textbook. I am currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student and this was a recommended book by my professor to help us learn PNF techniques. There are excellent descriptions and great diagrams. The only thing that would have made this a better book is if the diagrams were in color. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the benefits and techniques of PNF as well as most health care proffessionals. Being a student, this was also a very easy book to comprehend due to the great descriptions.
