| book description |

Achieve the best functional outcomes for your patients. Here is a practical, step-by-step guide to understanding the treatment process and selecting the most appropriate interventions for your patients. Superbly illustrated, in-depth coverage shows you how to identify functional deficits, determine what treatments are appropriate, and then implement them to achieve the best functional outcome for your patients. Learn through reading, seeing, and doing. Seventeen case studies in the text correspond to seventeen videotaped case studies with voice-over narration online at FADavis.com. These videos show you how practicing therapists interact with their clients in rehabilitation settings…from sample elements of the initial examination through the interventions to the functional outcomes…to make a difference in patients’ lives. Discussions address the foundational context for clinical decision-making and the conceptual framework for developing a comprehensive plan of care. Detailed coverage examines strategies and interventions to promote enhanced motor function and independence in key functional skills. Laboratory practice activities focus on task analysis and acquisition of psychomotor skills. Case Studies in the text (17 in all) present examples of patient management strategies based on effective clinical decision-making for patients with a variety of diagnoses, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, peripheral vestibular dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, post orthotopic heart transplant, and Parkinson’s disease. Case study videos online at FADavis.com, corresponding to the 17 case studies in the book, present elements of the initial examination, interventions, and outcomes for a variety of the commonly seen clinical conditions in rehabilitation settings. Case Study Guiding Questions enhance clinical decision-making and challenge students to address the unique needs of individual patients. Student Practice Activities provide an opportunity to share knowledge and skills with student peers and to confirm or clarify the student’s understanding of the interventions. Tables summarize the content, while also serving as concise study guides. “Clinical Notes” highlight key points and specific or unique aspects of an intervention. “Red Flags” identify potential patient problems or precautions. “Comments” present concepts and techniques for successfully implementing an intervention. An extensive program of photographs and figures illustrates the narrative descriptions of the intervention strategies. New To This Edition: Updated & Revised! Revised and updated throughout to reflect the current research and practice. New! Case Study #16 and case study video, “Patient with Multiple Sclerosis” and Case Study #17 and video, “Patient Status Post Orthotopic Heart Transplant Followed Through the Continuum of Care.”
