Dedicated to O&P Education

From there she went on to teach physical therapy at Columbia University, New York, New York. She is the author of notable O&P textbooks and numerous research papers, and is a well-known lecturer both in the United States and internationally. These accomplishments and her dedication to education within the rehabilitation arena have made Edelstein an inspiration for many in the O&P profession.
