Small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket, this new reference provides clinicians with a summary of contraindications and precautions to review before treating patients seeking physical rehabilitation. This is the only book that discusses all of the contraindications in one convenient source, and includes the full range of interventions, ranging from physical agents to supportive devices to therapeutic exercises. This essential resource can be used in the clinic or in such academic courses as Differential Diagnosis, Clinical Reasoning, and Therapeutics & Intervention. Students beginning rotations will find it convenient to carry for immediate reference. * Provides crucial, easily accessible information to refresh therapists on contraindications that may not fall within their routine area of treatment. * Covers the full range of interventions in detail, including the purpose of the intervention, mechanism, types of patients who many benefit, evaluation/work-up, contraindications and precautions, rationale, and references. * Helps ensure that practitioners do no harm, providing safer client care in all settings. * Uses terminology from The Guide to Physical Therapy, reinforcing the use of up-to-date, client-friendly language. * Presents quality information from a highly renowned author, with evidence-based information throughout.
