Exercise Therapy in the Management of Musculoskeletal
Disorders covers the fundamentals of using exercise as a
treatment modality across a broad range of pathologies including
osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthropathies and osteoporosis. As

therapy, the book evaluates the evidence and puts it to work with
practical ideas for the management of musculoskeletal disorders in
different areas of the body, for differing pathologies and for a
range of patients.

Part 1 introduces the reader tothe role of exercise in managing
musculoskeletal disorders and covers measurement and assessment.
Part 2 looks at the regional application of exercise therapy with
chapters on areas of the body such as the cervical spine, the
shoulder complex and the knee. Part 3 examines specific
populations: the developing child, the cardiac and respiratory
patient, obesity and osteoporosis.

Exercise Therapy in the Management of Musculoskeletal
Disorders is an invaluable resource for student
physiotherapists as well as clinicians designing rehabilitation
programmes for their patients.

Rezensionen

"Overall, this is a welcome addition. The book is not simply a
compilation of exercises separated into body regions, rather it
offers evidence-based rationales for their specific uses and, more
importantly, when to progress a patient to higher levels of
difficulty." (Doody's, 9 December 2011)
