physical therapist Kevin Wilk has brought a contemporary perspective on
rehabilitation to the text.The book is organized by anatomical region, with a primary set of
well-qualified authors assigned to each area of the body. The editors also
brought in a cadre of leaders in the field of general orthopaedics as well as
orthopaedic and sports rehabilitation to contribute to each section, thus
ensuring that the book offers a variety of rehabilitation guidelines for each
injury or procedure. The protocols range from conservative through aggressive,
and their juxtaposition allows for easy comparison among the programs.
