DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Customer said Five Stars. NICE BOOK CONDITION.. An excellent resource! Jason McCully I purchased this because I lost my lab book after graduation. It is one that I was going to keep due to the fact that you will not use all of these skills in all practice settings. It is is just a tad older than my edition but the information is the same and I think there are a few pics that I did not have. I had to borrow a copy of this from my last clinical instructor, and then I ordered one! It arrived brand new in my opinion. I. brentoks said I recommend this book. I like how this book presents every topic especially about transfers, wheelchair and assistive devicesI like the illustrations, tables and colored picturesvery helpful and informative
