Description:

Here is a practical, step-by-step guide to help you understanding the treatment process and to select the most appropriate intervention for your patient. Superbly illustrated, in-depth coverage will show how to identify functional deficits, determine what treatments are appropriate, and then to implement them to achieve the best functional outcome for patients. This one-of-a-kind text uses case studies in the narrative and then visually on the accompanying DVD to present real-world clinical demonstrations of how the interventions selected make a difference in patients' lives. An extensive program of photographs and figures illustrates the narrative descriptions of the intervention strategies. The discussions address the foundational context for clinical decision-making and the conceptual framework for developing a comprehensive plan of care. The 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.
