Geriatric Physical Therapy offers a comprehensive presentation of
geriatric physical therapy science and practice. Thoroughly revised
and updated, editors Andrew Guccione, Rita Wong, and Dale Avers and
their contributors provide current information on aging-related
changes in function, the impact of these changes on patient
examination and evaluation, and intervention approaches that
maximize optimal aging. Chapters emphasize evidence-based content
that clinicians can use throughout the patient management process.
Six new chapters include: Exercise Prescription, Older Adults and
Their Families, Impaired Joint Mobility, Impaired Motor Control,
Home-based Service Delivery, and Hospice and End of Life.
Clinically accurate and relevant while at the same time exploring
theory and rationale for evidence-based practice, it's perfect for
students and practicing clinicians. It's also an excellent study
aid for the Geriatric Physical Therapy Specialization exam.
Comprehensive coverage provides all the foundational knowledge
needed for effective management of geriatric disorders. Content is
written and reviewed by leading experts in the field to ensure
information is authoritative, comprehensive, current, and
clinically accurate. A highly readable writing style and consistent
organization make it easy to understand difficult concepts. Tables
and boxes organize and summarize important information and
highlight key points for quick reference. A well-referenced and
scientific approach provides the depth to understand processes and
procedures. Theory mixed with real case examples show how concepts
apply to practice and help you enhance clinical decision-making
skills. Standard APTA terminology familiarizes you with terms used
in practice. A new chapter, Exercise Prescription, highlights
evidence-based exercise prescription and the role of physical
activity and exercise on the aging process. A new chapter, Older
Adults and Their Families, helps physical therapists understand the
role spouses/partners and adult children can play in
rehabilitation, from providing emotional support to assisting with
exercise programs and other daily living activities. New chapters
on Impaired Joint Mobility, Impaired Motor Control, Home-based
Service Delivery, and Hospice and End of Life expand coverage of
established and emerging topics in physical therapy. Incorporates
two conceptual models: the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice,
2nd Edition, and the International Classification of Function,
Disability, and Health (ICF) of the World Health Organization (WHO)
with an emphasis on enabling function and enhancing participation
rather than concentrating on dysfunction and disability A companion
Evolve website includes all references linked to MEDLINE as well as
helpful links to other relevant websites.
