2.0 out of 5 stars
Excessive,
By Sully (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamental Orthopedic Management: For the Physical Therapist Assistant, 2e (Paperback)
I think this book is excessive in the amount of information presented. It goes from straight, forward information to difficult to understand technical biochemical information that is not needed for PTA's. It is wordy, using quotes that are unnecessary, if not out of place, for learning the information. If it stuck to the basics and explained it well it would make for a less laborious reading. I am a first year PTA student and I have to read this book. I tend to go to my A & P book that presents the information in an easier to understand format.

By Sunshadowz@aol.com (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamental Orthopedic Management for the Physical Therapist Assistant, 1e (Paperback)
This is a great book, and an invaluable reference, I still use it today in practice. Well written, and it has some great pictures. I believe that this should be a part of any PTA's library.
