A basic text
| Customer Rating: | | This textbook is a very basic guide through the changes physiologically that occur through aging and associated diseases and more information. I work as a physical therapist in an acute setting where all of my patients are elderly. I have never refered to this book. It has a few good chapters to read and can supplement any learning that has occurred in the classroom, but overall is not a necessary text. |
