The book is based on Cameron (OHSU, Portland, Oregon) and Monroe's (John Muir Health, Walnut Creek, CA) physical therapists' textbook, , with material adapted to address physical therapist assistants' unique needs. Suitable for the generalist as well as the specialist providing care beyond his\/her area of expertise, the text contains case studies throughout which demonstrate clinical application of the concepts. Organized by preferred practice patterns, the text covers rehabilitation of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary systems, and interventions overlapping those systems.
