DESCRIPTION
This updated 4th Edition of
Therapeutic Exercise
does more
than provide a listing of exercises—it builds practice prepared-
ness and clinical reasoning skills by focusing on the rationale
behind exercise selections and progressions. Now in striking full color and more accessible than
ever, the text emphasizes return to function, aligns with the most recent ICF framework, and reflects
the latest strategies in physical therapy. This edition continues to show readers how to use thera-
peutic exercise and related interventions to close the gap between current and desired performance,
while incorporating new research and updated pedagogy.
