Description
Designed to help therapists provide post-surgical rehabilitation based on best practices and evidence-based research, this comprehensive
reference presents effective guidelines for postsurgical rehabilitation interventions. Its authoritative material is drawn from the most
current literature in the field as well as contributions from expert physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers
affiliated with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). A DVD accompanies the book, featuring over 60 minutes of video of patients demonstrating
various therapeutic excercises spanning the different phases of postsurgical rehabilitation. Examples include hand therapy procedures,
working with post-surgical patients with cerebral palsy, sports patient injuries, and pediatric procedures for disorders such as torticollis.
