The first textbook specifically for physical therapist assistant
(PTA) students on physical agent modalities, Therapeutic Agents for
the Physical Therapist Assistant is a standout resource that will
greatly enhance a PTA curriculum. Therapeutic Agents for the
Physical Therapist Assistant focuses on the use and execution of
each physical agent, covering thermal, sound-energy, mechanical,
electrical, and electromagnetic agents. Tables, graphs, review
questions, and photos are included for visual reference and lab
practice. Clinical tips and case studies are sprinkled throughout
each chapter, along with sample documentation and checklists to
follow when documenting a therapeutic modality. Topics include:
Thermal agents, including thermotherapy and cryotherapy
Sound-energy modalities, including therapeutic ultrasound and
phonophoresis Mechanical agents, including hydrotherapy, traction,
compression, manual therapy, and soft-tissue mobilization
Electrical agents, including electrotherapy Electromagnetic agents,
including shortwave diathermy, low-level laser therapy, infrared
light therapy, and ultraviolet light Included with the text are
online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom,
consisting of an Instructor's Manual and PowerPoint slides. This
textbook is perfect for instructors in PTA programs looking for a
text on physical modalities and agents that is geared specifically
toward their students. This text will equally hold a valuable place
on the shelf as a valuable reference text for PTA students after
they enter the field.
Procedures and patient care will be one of the first courses a
physical therapist assistant (PTA) student will encounter as they
begin their educational career. The foundational material covered
in Procedures and Patient Care for the Physical Therapist Assistant
includes information about transfers, positioning, vital sign
measurement, wheelchair fit and management, assistive devices, and
gait. These skills are vital to know as a PTA, regardless of
specialization or location of employment. Inside Procedures and
Patient Care for the Physical Therapist Assistant, Jennifer Memolo
includes objectives, key terms, common abbreviations, and review
questions. Also, in each chapter is information adhering to the
current best practice and an understanding of red flags a PTA
should know and report to supervising physical therapists or other
health care providers. This text stands out from others because it
is catered specifically to PTA students rather than the generalized
health care practitioner. It can be used throughout the student’s
education as a reference since all other courses build upon and
cycle back to this core information. It can also be utilized even
after graduation as preparatory material for the board examination
or as a refresher for the practicing clinician. Instructors in
educational settings can visit www.efacultylounge.com for
additional material to be used for teaching in the classroom.
Procedures and Patient Care for the Physical Therapist Assistant
provides core information that the PTA will use and build upon
throughout their entire career which is what makes it a suitable
text for students, faculty, and clinicians.
