AB I  began  teaching  at  the  University  of  Indianapolis  in  2003.  With  an  expertise  in  geriatrics  I  was  anxious  to  teach  in  the  lifespan  sequence  (2  semesters)  to  our  entry-level  Doctor  of  Physical  Therapy  students.  One  area  I  found  lacking  was  how  to  relate  general  knowledge  to  the  aspect  of  direct  care.  I  found  case  studies  a  great  way  to  have  the  students  see  that  aging  changes  accompany  the  older  adult  and  are  not  separate  issues.  While  this  second  edition  took  nearly  2  years  to  write,  compile  and  edit,  a  lifetime  of  learning  and  planning  went  into  this  endeavor.
