Covering the scope, theory, and approaches to the practice of occupational therapy, Physical Dysfunction Practice Skills for the Occupational Therapy Assistant, 3rd Edition prepares you to care for adults who have physical disabilities. It takes a client-centered approach, following the latest OT Practice framework as it defines your role as an OTA in physical dysfunction practice. New to this edition is coverage of polytrauma, advances in prosthetics and assistive technologies, and assessment and interventions of traumatic brain injury problems related to cognitive and visual perception. Written by respected educator Mary Beth Early, Physical Dysfunction Practice Skills for the Occupational Therapy Assistant helps you develop skills in the assessment of client factors, intervention principles, and clinical reasoning.Case studies offer snapshots of real-life situations and solutions, with many threaded throughout an entire chapter.  A client-centered approach allows you to include the client when making decisions about planning and treatment, using the terminology set forth by the 2008 Occupational Therapy Practice Framework. Evidence-based content includes clinical trials and outcome studies, especially those relating to intervention. Key terms, chapter outlines, and chapter objectives introduce the essential information in each chapter. Reading guide questions and summaries in each chapter make it easier to measure your comprehension of the material. Information on prevention is incorporated throughout the book, especially in the Habits on Health and Wellness chapter. Cultural diversity/sensitivity information helps you learn about the beliefs and customs of other cultures so you can provide appropriate care. An Evolve companion website reinforces learning with resources such as video clips, review questions, forms for practice, crossword puzzles, and other learning activities.  New content on the latest advances in OT assessment and intervention includes prosthetics and assistive technologies, and updated assessment and interventions of TBI (traumatic brain injury) problems related to cognitive and visual perception. Video clips on the companion Evolve website relate the material to clinical practice by demonstrating a variety of interventions in occupational therapy.

This is a required text for Occupational Therapy Assistants as in it is part of our booklist BUT it is very useful with information that is pretty timeless. If is NOT required, it is still a very important book and would be worth a rental to help over the humps although you may just want to own it. I know many COTAs that keep it as their main reference even after school and certification testing. WARNING: It is a DRY read but more helpful than most out there.
Used this for 3 classes that all used the 3rd ed. Didnt have much trouble keeping up, chapters in this book are one ahead of the 3rd ed. Missing a few small things but has a whole extra chapter that the newest ones does not. Great deal for what I paid and will probably keep this as a refrence for later.
I still have this book! If you're an OT student, this is INVALUABLE to help you study for your test for your license and as a great reference book on transfers and splinting. Highly recommended. I will be keeping this book for a long time!
This book was required for a course; it is brief in its explanations. The interventions are short considering the spectrum of practice for an OTA is largely interventions. A longer focal point on interventions and the application of interventions in the context of an OTA's practice would be highly beneficial.
I really like how informative and concise this textbook is, even without a glossary (which would be helpful).However, I really dislike the incomplete index - some words/topics/phrases (even a few that are in BOLD text within the body of the book) are not noted in the index, which makes referencing back to something quite difficult.Other than that, it's a good textbook.
This was a great book for my Functional Anatomy I class. It gives a great understanding of the human body and the physical dysfunctions the occur.
Needed the book for class, very good book, easy to read for a text book... far cheaper than bookstore price, arrived on time and in good condition
Used this book for 3 classes. This is a book I will keep for the rest of my career. So informative and practical. Thank you!
