Updated case studies, evidence-based practice summary boxes, and new medically based photographs help students bridge the gap between theory and clinical application.

3.0 out of 5 stars It has some inaccuracies

My professor pointed out multiple inaccuracies in the book that are backed up by research, but other than that, it is a pretty good textbook. Just realize there are some inaccurate things so you can’t believe everything in it.
