DESCRIPTION
Therapeutic Exercise: Moving Toward Function,
Third Edition provides a conceptual framework for
learning how to make clinical decisions regarding the
prescription of therapeutic exercise—from deciding
which exercise(s) to teach, to how to teach them, to
the dosage required for the best outcome. Readers
will learn how to use therapeutic exercise and
related interventions to treat the impairments that
correlate to functional limitations and disability and
to work toward optimal function.
