Hi,

Not sure I have ever see one book that covers all areas as they tend to normally focus on measurement in individual areas. What sort of measurements do you need?

Thank you for help.

May be is my fault I wasnt too specific.I studied Physiotherapy in Romania and i have the feeling that is quite diferent than UK.

I do not mind to go through all books what english students learn in their years at university.

Regards,
Nicolina
