There is a surfeit of writing about evidence--based practice which is often difficult to relate to the actual treatment of patients. This book however, starts with real patients and their problems, then turns to specialist clinicians from different philosophies describe how they would treat that patient. This means that the contents are directly relevant to clinical practice. The authors have provided a generous list of references to support their choice of treatment. The book will be of interest to a wide audience including physiotherapy clinicians and researchers, others in the health care teams treating patients with neurological conditions and managers organising these services. It will also be valuable for both undergraduate and postgraduate therapists studying neurology. Contents: A* Section One -- Single Incident Neurology -- Case Reports: stroke; head injury; incomplete spinal injury; complete spinal injury A* Section Two -- Progressive Disorders -- Case Reports: Parkinson's Disease; Multiple Sclerosis

Athletic Injuries: Functional Taping and Bracing provides students with a comprehensive, highly visual guide to managing athletic injuries with effective taping and bracing strategies. Each chapter of the text focuses on a different area of the body and presents critical information regarding types of injuries along with various current taping and bracing techniques. The opening chapter focuses on the foot, first providing information about chronic foot and lower leg injuries, then introducing arch taping procedures, low dye technique methods, the X-arch taping method, and more. Proceeding chapters address specific taping and bracing procedures for the ankle, lower leg, knee, hip, thigh, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and digits. Through the various taping and bracing procedures, students learn about the mechanisms of common injuries to these areas of the body. They become knowledgeable regarding the prevention, recognition, and treatment of common sport-related injuries. Designed to help students learn how to competently and confidently recognize and manage injuries suffered by athletes, Athletic Injuries is an ideal resource for courses in health science, exercise science, sports medicine, kinesiology, and physical therapy.

The book's small, portable size makes it ideal for reference in any practice setting. Presents information in an accessible, at-a-glance format. The unique red flag hierarchy assists with clinical reasoning. Index of Suspicion highlights the most likely conditions indicated by specific red flags. Discussion of 3D thinking encourages clinicians to look beyond immediate symptoms to find the underlying cause of a problem. Discussion of red herrings describes how to approach indicators that may mislead a diagnosis. Information on the concept of conditional probabilities helps practitioners make informed clinical decisions.

With a new editor at the helm, Electrotherapy: Evidence-Based Practice (formerly Clayton's Electrotherapy) is back in its 12th edition, continuing to uphold the standard of clinical research and evidence base for which it has become renowned. This popular textbook comprehensively covers the use of electrotherapy in clinical practice and includes the theory which underpins that practice. Over recent years the range of therapeutic agents involved and the scope for their use have greatly increased and the new edition includes and evaluates the latest evidence and most recent developments in this fast-growing field. Tim Watson brings years of clinical, research and teaching experience to the new edition, with a host of new contributors, all leaders in their specialty. "An essential text for any student wanting to underpin the theory behind electrotherapy. The beginning of the book is largely concerned with the principles of electrotherapy, with the latter chapters dealing with each modality individually. Contraindications are clearly highlighted for each modality, as is the evidence base for the effectiveness of the treatment." - Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy student, University of Bradford, UK Evidence, evidence, evidence!
