A volume in the Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation Series, curated by Steven L. Wolf, PhD, PT, FAPTA
Implement a current, evidence-based approach to the selection, application, and uses of therapeutic modalities as an essential tool for functionally based rehabilitation and as a complement to other types of interventions in a patient-centered model of care.
The 7th Edition of this groundbreaking text fosters an in-depth understanding of the science behind each modality, its advantages and limitations, its appropriateness for specific conditions, and its implementation. A hands-on problem-solving approach promotes the development of essential clinical decision-making skills through a wealth of full-color photographs and illustrations, special features, and challenging cases studies.
Case studies with clinical decision components feature rationales for selecting and applying each therapeutic modality. Suggested Lab Activities promote discussion and hands-on practice. Illustrations, photographs, and graphs bring the text to life and familiarize you with the equipment you’ll need to know about when you enter your clinical rotations. Important facts, highlighted in each chapter, prepare you for tests on the clinical application of the modality. “Key Word Literature Searches” and “Websites for Literature for Evidence” boxes enhance your understanding of research and evidence.
