Clinical Cases in Physical Therapy (Paperback, 2nd edition)

This unique text provides students and clinicians with a means of improving their clinical judgment and problem-solving skills. By comparing their own management strategies to those provided in the text, readers will gain knowledge of effective interventions and advance a step further in their pursuit of clinical expertise. Content utilizing current terminology reflects trends in current practice and familiarizes readers with the structure of the Guide to Physical Therpist Practice, 2nd Edition. The real-life examples expose students to a range of both unusual and familiar clinical experiences they might not face in their studies, as well as enabling current clinicians to learn from their colleagues' experiences. Input from both a clinician and a professor provides a nice blend of clinical experience and educational insight. All cases are new, 46 in all, compiled from real-life scenarios experienced by physical therapy practitioners. Content includes more detailed information in areas such as patients, personal histories, culture, environment, and lifestyle. New topics encompass a broad range of issues, including documentation, women's health, clinical education, ethics, and assistive technology. Evidence-based examples and additional references meet the curriculum standards for physical therapy education. Pedagogical features, such as learning objectives, guiding questions, photos and illustrations, make the reference useful in the educational setting. In response to the guidelines featured in the Guide, cases are now formatted to follow elements of patient/client management, including physical therapy diagnoses stated as preferred practice patterns.
