Introduction to Pathology for the Physical Therapist Assistant is written specifically for physical therapist assistants, but is also applicable for other allied health students. This comprehensive text reviews actual, hands-on pathologic states and conditions that the PTA must understand in order to do their job. This includes pathology of children, adults, and the elderly as well as various forms of trauma, accidents, and disorders that may result in disability. Each chapter contains many full-color figures, tables, and photographs which facilitate better understanding of the material presented. At the end of each chapter are multiple-choice questions, website references, and critical thinking questions. This book also is accompanied with a student Companion Web site, a TestBank, PowerPoint presentations, and other electronic instructor materials.
