Summary: Indispensable
Review: "Rehabilitation Protocols for Surgical and Nonsurgical Procedures meets the challenge of providing techniques, as well as responding to the demand for accountability in the current dynamic healthcare environment. The research for the book has also tested the proposed spine protocols' acceptance among other spine practitioners in the East Texas region, and across the United States. During the past eight years, these protocols have been presented to many spine physicians and rehabilitation specialists to utilize and critique, the results of which are presented within these pages. McFarland and Burkhart have a combined experience of more than fifty years as physical therapy practitioners. Dr. Danielson, as well as the physicians at NeuroCare Network and the East Texas Neurologic Institute, has continued to support efforts in this area. These protocols have provided guidelines for referring surgical and nonsurgical patients for therapy, resulting in the development of a foundation for therapy experience that has generated new ideas for rehabilitation and care.
The American Back Society has contributed to this work as well, with the efforts of Executive Director Dr. Aubrey Swartz and current President Dr. Philip Greenman particularly instrumental. They have supported the development of these protocols since the early phases, extending the work throughout the ABS's worldwide membership through conferences and publications and sponsoring surveys for further research in the rehabilitation realm. Their combined efforts, Dr. Danielson's support, and the research of the authors have culminated with the publication of this book."Taken from the website of North Atlantic Books
