Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
This thorough and practical guide offers the kind of advice on using crutches, walkers, and other mobility aids that doctors, physical therapists, or other health professionals might not but should have given patients. Covering the wide range of injuries from simple strains to severe disabilities, it provides a variety of tips on how to cope with stairs, how to manage in the kitchen, how to sit down and stand up, etc. There are also physical and mental exercises, a discussion of all forms of rehabilitation, and hints to helpful families and friends on what not to do or say. The illustrations, appendixes, and index weren't seen, but the resource list alone is valuable.This accurate and informative book will be in demand and is, therefore, a wise purchase for any library. --Edward R. Pinckney, M.D., Beverly Hills, Cal.

Review
Comprehensive and practical approach to the problems of those in wheelchairs and on crutches. To the reader it imparts warmth, motivation, encouragement, and understanding in a fashion that is quite rare in medical literature. -- Howard A. Rusk, President of the World Rehabilitation Fund, Inc.
