Rezensionen

"This edition is well laid out in a more up to date format. It is clear and easy to read, and tables and figures are appropriate and clear, but unlike the first edition, the second edition only contains one photograph. A notable change is the inclusion of references at the end of each chapter, which is very helpful when considering further research. Although some of the references and tables seem dated, current examples are also included in most cases." ( Physiotherapy Journal, March 2010)
