The review questions provide a good overview of what is covered in each chapter and the application exercises would be a great study tool for PTA students. Another bonus for the student as well as the PT or PTA professional is Appendix A, which contains a comprehensive list of abbreviations and symbols used in medical documentation...This would be a welcome addition to any PTA curriculum. When in school, students are required to purchase many textbooks that they use once and never open again. This book is something they could leave at the clinic where they work and use periodically for reference. -- Deborah M. King, Doody Enterprises, Inc.
