In Memoriam
Lynn S. Lippert (1942-2021)
Thirty years and six editions ago, our friend, author, clinician, educator, and fierce advocate for breast cancer research wrote the first book ever published specifically for Physical Therapist Assistants, Clinical Kinesiology and Anatomy, for F.A. Davis. After such achievement, Lynn retired from authorship and passed away before the publication of the 7th Edition. Generations of rehabilitation practitioners and educators carry on her legacy through their dedication to education, the advancement of their field, and new editions of her groundbreaking work.
