about: The Hand: Fundamentals of Therapy
This is a very practical quide for professional Hand Therapists and students. It contains 18 chapters about the most common Hand disfunctions and provides a nice theory backround and treatment protocols. It's easy to read and the pictures are very usefull. I think that it's concentrating more in the assessment and general aspects according to the stage of the injury or disfunction, than in particular hand therapy techniques (like mobilization etc). However, it's still a very nice manual for every Hand Therapist. You won't regret buying it.
