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. Familiar structure parallels the organization, language, and concepts of APTA Guide to Physical Therapist Practice making detailed information easier to find. Evidence-based material helps the reader select examination, evaluation, and intervention approaches that are supported by current evidence. Includes over 60 case studies for a comprehensive, problem-based approach. Over 800 full-color illustrations and photos clearly demonstrate pathology, assessment, and intervention. Useful resources including evaluation forms, recommendations of other resources, and case studies are ideal for use in clinical settings.
