It continues to provide valuable information on functional anatomy; the mechanics of movement; neurologic, special, and surgical considerations; evaluation; and treatment. Clinical application, while always an important feature of this title, has been strengthened for this new edition. Readers will also find new evidence-based evaluation methods and new treatment techniques and procedures.
