Designed to help therapists provide post-surgical rehabilitation based on best practices and evidence-based research, this comprehensive reference presents effective guidelines for postsurgical rehabilitation interventions. Its authoritative material is drawn from the most current literature in the field as well as contributions from expert physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers affiliated with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS).

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation Guidelines for the Orthopedic Clinician was truly a collaborative effort by all the members of the Rehabilitation Department, representing over 30 years of clinical guideline review and with over 20 collective authors representing each section: the Sports Medicine, Performance, and Research Center, Joint Mobility Center, Hand Therapy Center, Pediatric Rehabilitation Center, and Inpatient Rehabilitation Center.

A DVD accompanies the book, featuring over 60 minutes of video of patients demonstrating various therapeutic excercises spanning the different phases of postsurgical rehabilitation. Examples include hand therapy procedures, working with post-surgical patients with cerebral palsy, sports patient injuries, and pediatric procedures for disorders such as torticollis.
