Présentation de l'éditeur

Clinical Prediction Rules: A Physical Therapy Reference Manual is constructed in such a manner that it is intended to be used for multiple musculoskeletal courses. It includes musculoskeletal clinical prediction rules organized by region thus allowing for its repeated use during the upper quarter, lower quarter as well as the students spine coursework. Additionally, the manual includes multiple medical screening prediction rules so that it is appropriate to introduce in differential diagnosis coursework as well as a diagnostic imaging class. Perfect for entry-level physical therapy programs, this text is also suitable for post-professional physical therapy programs especially those that include an orthopedic residency or manual therapy fellowship program, and also as a reference manual for students going out on their clinical affiliations. This book offers the first comprehensive look at CPRs as they relate to PT practice. Its format is arranged so that the pertinent information is readily available to influence clinical decision making while also providing sufficient depth. CPR development level is provided, a quality assessment score is listed as well as a clinical bottom line paragraph to provide the reader with a summative statement. The predictor variables are well described and include multiple color pictures for clarity of explanation and ease of reproduction. To further assist the reader in their utilization of clinical prediction rules the authors have provided a decision making algorithm as well as multiple case studies demonstrating the inclusion of such rules into an evidence-based clinical scenario. CPRs are becoming more frequent in the PT literature and this book provides students and clinicians with a strong working knowledge of the rules most pertinent to PT practice. With over 100 full-color photos, illustrations, and tables to demonstrate key exercises and concepts, this user-friendly text is an essential reference for students and clinicians alike
