In "The Empty Chair: A Movement to Limit the Wheelchair and Lead a Healthy Life" readers will learn the main causes of wheelchair usage, as well as methods to take to decrease the risk of becoming dependent upon a mobility aid. For those readers who already use a wheelchair, this book details exercise regimens that should be considered in order to avoid the disease of inactivity or astronaut s disease and takes a look at the future of the wheelchair. Learn from Dr. Cotler s expertise as a spinal surgeon, and see what you can do to limit the wheelchair.-- (1/27/2016 12:00:00 AM) |
