From Library Journal:

Doctors often prescribe exercise for their arthritic patients but without explicit instructions. While there are numerous books on this condition, few current ones deal specifically with exercises. Sobel and Klein ( Arthritis: What Works , LJ 8/89) based this guide on their nationwide survey of arthritics, which showed that 95 percent of those surveyed found pain was relieved or ended with the right kind of exercise. Exercises for each part of the body are described, explained, and diagrammed so that the reader can initiate an individualized program. They are rated at different levels of activity from one to four, i.e., from low-key (done in bed) to high-key (walking). Also included are self-evaluation checklists and advice on what to do during arthritis flare-ups. This book will be of help to doctors, physical therapists, and exercise instructors as well as patients. Recommended for all popular medical collections.
