This volume presents an in-depth discussion of clinically related topics in an integrated manner specific to rehabilitation professionals. It covers important principles of skeletal muscle performance and neurologic control of motor systems. Descriptions of therapeutic interventions used in physiology along with the related physiologic principles are included to create a line between basic science and clinical practice. Chapters in the book highlight disease processes common to rehabilitation, and describe the physiologic basis of evaluation and common lab tests. This text also discusses rehabilitation protocols, and assists clinicians in modifying treatment plans
