5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for OTs taking a joint mobilization class, October 6, 2007

By	Lifelong learner "Worker Bee" (In the Great Northwest) - See all my reviews

Clear photographs showing fixed and movable structures make this an efficient teaching tool. Spoken or written directions during a course are helpful, but it's great if you can preload these pictures into your knowledge base before you take the course so you know what's going on underneath the therapist's hands. Very useful information about this specific topic.
