The best!November 8, 2004 Dale Avers(Syracuse, NY) 24 out of 24 found this review helpful
This book is terrific for physical therapists and others looking for new ideas in how to remediate balance issues in their patients. The organization, by system, is terrific, and the progression of activities and exercises brillant. Dr. Rose has included the strongest balance measures and even provided a "cheat-sheet" to help make the transition from functional problem to specific exercise. This is a must read for anyone treating balance problems.
