DESCRIPCIÓN
It is rare to come acress a book that works as both a reference tool for those with rehabilitation training and an instructional tool for novices. (...) I heartily recommend this book. I believe it should be on every veterinarian's bookshelf and should be used until it falls apart, at which time they then should buy a new one."
