H oewel dit hoofsaaklik vir verpleegsters bedoel is, sal dit ’n uitste- kende inleiding vir param edici wees. D ie rangskikking van hoofstukke, asook die inhoud van hoofstukke in die volgorde van basiese beginsels, toestande w at algem een voorkom en seldsam e toestande, is handig. , D ie boek is van besondere w aarde d aar dit spesifiek m et Suid-A frikaanse geneeskunde gem oeid is, vandaar die afw esigheid van verwysings n a ander skrywe. Somm ige van die toestande sal egter m eer breedvoerig deur fisioterapie studente bestudeer m oet word en bykom ende of verwysing n a aanvullende skrywe kan van w aarde wees. As teksboek vir inleidende voorgraadse studie is die w erk baie geskik. D ie inhoudsopgaw e is goed uiteengesit m et beson- derhede oor die verskillende onderafdelings, n et jam m er dat bladsy aanw ysing nie altyd korrek is nie.

(A u th o r’s preface). T he physical exam ination and tre a t­ m ent of the soft tissue structures o f the locom otor system are topographically clearly described. M an ip u ­ lation: m edical and lay is discussed. In addition, this edition o f this book already well- know n to physiotherapists especially those interested in treating soft tissue problem s, includes a review of literature up to the end of 1977 so th at researchers can be guided to the original record. C hiropractic is also discussed m ore fully than in previous editions. T he b o o k is w ell-presented and w ould be a valuable addition to the library of medical and physiotherapy training institutions as well as a valuable acquisition to physiotherapists w orking in this sphere.
