Orthopedic Rehabilitation Science: Principles for Clinical Management of Bone

By Katie Lundon and Katie Lundon BSc PT MSc PhD

As the population ages, bone disease, including osteoporosis, will continue to grow as an area of concern in healthcare. Practicing physical therapists need to refresh their basic science knowledge so that they can anticipate progression of a disease and provide better patient care. In addition to providing a comprehensive review of the skeletal system and bone metabolism, Orthopedic Rehabilitation Science discusses age-related changes in bone, acquired disorders of bone, bone cancer, and metabolic bone diseases. Information is offered on how a disease or disorder clinically presents and management recommendations are given.

* A comprehensive review of the skeletal system, bone metabolism, and skeletal disorders
