The only pathology textbook written specifically for physical
therapy, this edition continues to provide practical and easy
access to information on specific diseases and conditions as they
relate to physical therapy practice. Coverage includes guidelines,
precautions, and contraindications for interventions with patients
who have musculoskeletal or neuromuscular problems, as well as
other medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.
Logically organized content offers at-a-glance access to essential
information on common illnesses, diseases, adverse drug effects,
organ transplantation, laboratory values, and more to ensure the
most reliable and effective physical therapy for patients.
Up-to-date coverage with contributions from more than 100 content
experts in pathology and physical therapy. Revised content
throughout provides the most current information required to be an
effective practitioner. Full-color interior design, photos, and
illustrations visually reinforce key concepts. A Therapist's
Thoughts offers personal and clinical insights from experienced
therapists specializing in cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis,
women's health, lymphedema, psychological problems, and much more.
Special Implications for the Therapist boxes provide information
and ideas to consider when formulating a plan of care that
addresses precautions, contraindications, and best practice
specific to physical therapy. Current information on conditions,
medical testing and treatment, and practice models keeps students
up to date on the latest research findings and recent changes in
the field. Key information presented in an at-a-glance format is
organized by body system for easy reference. Basic science
information addresses the clinical implications of disease within
the rehabilitation process, covering common illnesses and diseases,
adverse effects of drugs, organ transplantation, laboratory values,
and much more. Coverage includes updated information on standard
precautions. Separate chapter addresses laboratory tests and values
that are important in physical therapy practice. Separate appendix
provides guidelines for activity and exercise. A focus on health
promotion and disease prevention is featured throughout the text.
NEW! Enhanced eBook version is included with print purchase, which
allows students to access all of the text, figures, and references
from the book on a variety of devices. NEW! Completely reconfigured
introductory chapters recognize how much physical consequences of
trauma, social isolation, and psychiatric disorders affect recovery
from pathology, and how integration of self-regulation into
intervention is key to the future of practice. NEW! Expanded
content on the role of epigenetics in optimizing exercise-based
interventions (a concept referred to as "precision physical
therapy") addresses its increasing importance in physical
rehabilitation management as it relates to pathology, individual
diseases, risk factors, and patient responses to physical therapy
interventions. NEW! Coverage of the latest discoveries and findings
in the science of quantum physics, mind-body connection, and
consciousness-based energy medicine. NEW! Information on genomics
and regenerative medicine as they relate to physical therapy
practice. NEW! Helpful references and additional boxes/tables are
available in the eBook. UPDATED! Evidence-based content with more
than 7,000 references ensures content is current and applicable for
today's physical therapists and physical therapist students.
Recognizing and Reporting Red Flags for the Physical Therapist
Assistant will help you develop skills to recognize signs and
symptoms that can compromise patient care, It is the first text to
present a consistent, three-step model for monitoring patients for
red flags relating to neuromuscular and musculoskeletal problems,
medical diseases, side effects of medications, and other
co-morbidities that may be unknown to the PT. Combining the
insights of physical therapist Catherine Cavallaro Goodman and
physical therapist assistant Charlene Marshall, this resource is
unmatched in providing clear guidelines for finding and documenting
red flags. Coverage of warning flags includes red and yellow flags,
risk factors, clinical presentation, signs and symptoms, helpful
screening clues, and guidelines for communicating with the PT,
allowing you as the PTA to quickly recognize the need for any
re-evaluation of the patient. Three-step approach to formative
assessments of physical therapy patients provides a consistent way
to watch for and report on adverse changes such as range of motion,
strength, pain, balance, coordination, swelling, endurance, or gait
deviations. PTA Action Plans show the clinical application of text
material relating to observing, documenting, and reporting red (or
yellow) flags to the physical therapist. Clinically relevant
information includes the tools that you need to monitor the
patient's response to selected interventions, and accurately and
quickly report changes to the supervising PT. Picture the Patient
sections address what to look for when assessing or working with
patients, especially typical red flag signs and symptoms of
emerging problems. Case examples and critical thinking activities
connect theory to practice, showing the role of the PTA and how the
PTA can integrate clinical observations with clinical reasoning
skills so that they can. Cognitive processing-reasoning approach
encourages you to learn to gather and analyze data, pose and solve
problems, infer, hypothesize, and make clinical judgments, so that
you can notify the supervising PT of clients who need further
evaluation or may require a referral or consultation with other
health care professionals. Summary boxes and tables highlight key
information for quick reference. Key terminology is listed in each
chapter, which each term bolded within the chapter and defined in a
back-of-book glossary. Full-color illustrations and design clearly
demonstrate pathologies and processes and make lookup easier in
busy clinical settings. An Evolve companion website enhances your
problem-solving and decision-making skills with additional case
studies, problem-solving questions, and activities, as well as
screening tools and checklists. Combined authorship by a physical
therapist and physical therapist assistant provides an
authoritative and unique voice in the PTA field.
