Description

This reference work sets out to present a comprehensive view of the wide range of problem-solving approaches, assessment strategies and physiotherapy procedures that are now available to the physiotherapist. The work covers the main three areas of physiotherapy practice: neurologic, musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Five physiotherapists offer their own recommendations for treating problems based on the state-of-the-art strategies that have proven most effective through practical experience and available research. The book is illustrated with case studies covering the clinical approaches described. The book should be useful to clinicians as a guide to evaluating the effectiveness of their own problem-solving techniques and approaches to intervention, as a source of evaluation and treatment techniques for unusual clinical problems and as a stimulus for discussion of diverse treatment philosophies.
