Carol said Five Stars. Great. Excellent KCB P.T. This is an excellent text written by two exceptionally talented educators. I've been practicing P.T. for 26+ years - and learned a great deal from this well researched and well presented text. I would gladly purchase professional text from either author again. Bravo - and thank you for your contributions to the profession. I have several cardiovascular/pulmonary texts - this is by far the most helpful and well written.. "never used it." according to sara. This book has a nice way of summarizing information but was difficult to navigate and not very helpful for the level class I was using it for.
