This is a fantastic, comprehensive guide for physical therapy students or other rehabilitation specialists who want to understand how to safely move and instruct patients in mobility. The text is clear, and while there is a lot of information, it's very accessible for a physical therapy textbook. The pictures and charts are very helpful, as is the disk that goes along with the guide. I definitely will give it another read before my first clinical experience. My main problem with this book as a learning tool is the case studies. The authors give wonderful, detailed case scenarios every few pages, which are followed with questions like, "What assistive device would be appropriate to use for this patient? Why would it be appropriate?" Unfortunately, the book never answers these questions. As a student, I can walk through my clinical reasoning to come to my own conclusions, but I also want to know what the experts think about the scenarios. I feel frustrated and a little cheated that I have no way of checking my answers, because it would help me to apply the principles introduced in this book.
I needed this book for PT School and provides brand new copies with all disks and/or access codes that you can get if you buy the book at your bookstore. Very pleased with and I will be sure to look at for my future textbook needs.
I purchased this for my PT program. Will need for classes. Have not had the chance to cover all the material. Disappointed that it does not come in a non-spiral version. Should do what it needs to do though.
This is a thorough text, well sequenced, processes and procedures are well explained and illustrated. The only improvement that I would like to see would be review questions with an answer key to aid those students who like to self-test and then verify their responses in order to cement learning.
This was required for one of my Physical Therapy courses. It is very readable and provides very good explainations, examples and images. I would recommend it to anyone studying PT or any other discipline requiring patient care.
It has a lot of good information and it's well laid-out, but the DVD is kind of useless. You can find better videos with better explanations on youtube.
The book was in great condition and it arrived on time. I chose this rating because it met my needs and there was nothing wrong with. Great Service!!
Decent book but it is not very well outlined or indexed which makes the book difficult to navigate when searching for answers to questions.
