PREFACE
This book is intended primarily for Bachelor of Physiotherapy students, who
prepare for their university examinations or for post graduate entrance examinations. We
think that it will also be useful for physiotherapists attending the licensing examination of
other countries.
We have attempted to cover different areas of physical therapy.
We have used many generally accepted abbreviations.
Despite our best efforts some errors may have been included. In case of any query please
write to us.
We should like to thank all those who helped us.5
DEDICATION
Baba,
Without your love we would not have been able to achieve our goal.
