We have included new,extremely detailed chapters covering differential diagnosis and radiology. These Chapters are a direct reflection of the direction in wich contenporary physical therapy practice is moving. Likewise,we have added significant detail to the chapters covering anatomy,orthopaedic neuurology,pharmacology,and the evaluation of medical laboratory tests. As always,we have emphasized questions founded on sound outcome-based and evidence-based research. Orthopaedic Physical Therapy secrets has gathered experts from a wide variety of disciplines,including orthopaedic physical therapy,occupational therapy,orthopaedic surgery,radiology,rhematology,spine surgery, spots medicine,exercise physiology,anesthesiology,and obstetrics/gynecology. This vast array of experts has made this text an exceptional,well-rounded quick reference and study guide for no only physical therapists,but also occupational therapists,athletic trainers,and primary care physicians. We hope this text provides its readers insight into the rapidly advancing field of orthopaedic physical therapy,and ultimately,benefits and inproves the quality of life in those so impotant to us...our patients. |
