Very, very little actual substance to this book. For example the section on postural changes in the elderly is less than 1/3 of a page long, lists only what they are - not why they occur, and the reference for the list is back to a book that C. Lewis wrote herself. Section on functional assessment of the elderly only has one assessment tool example. While I certainly would not recommend the book for an experienced clinician, I wouldn't even recommend it for a student.

I am a licensed physical therapist going back to tDPT school. This book was required in my course so I bought it, but it turned out to be a very informative book. It contained various evidence regarding geriatrics practice. The only down side, I think, was it is mono-color. Overall, it helped me review the physiological changes of aging and understand the general idea of geriatric rehab.

I received the textbook within the week that I ordered it, and I used standard shipping. So that was awesome. Also, the book was in the exact condition as it was described. This seller did really well. Thanks so much.
