Description
This text applies concepts from the "Guide to Physical Therapist Practice," in conjunction with evaluation of the current evidence, to provide balanced coverage of rehabilitation practice across the preferred practice patterns of physical therapy: musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary. This book gives specific, detailed, evidence-based information on the pathology, etiology, examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis and interventions for patients involved in physical rehabilitation.
In-depth, evidence-based coverage of more key content areas than any other rehabilitation resource of its kind, including orthopedics, neurology, and wound management, ensures a comprehensive understanding of rehabilitation supported by the latest clinical research.
More than 65 case studies present a problem-based approach to rehabilitation and detail practical, real-world applications.
Over 600 full-color illustrations clarify concepts and techniques.
A FREE companion CD prepares you for practice with printable examination forms and reference lists from the text linked to Medline abstracts and reinforces understanding through interactive boards-style review questions, and vocabulary-building exercises.
