I'm in OT school right now and this is our bible for interventions concerning physical dysfunction. I know in a beautiful world without production quotas we would all look up meta-analysis studies before working with each patient, but this give you a quick run down of the most important things to do, look for, and not do. I will be buying the revised edition whenever it comes out.
It could be broken down into volumes, this book is so big! It will literally crush you when trying to read before bed. That being said - it has so much information in it. You have to buy this one guys, it's a must have.
this is actually a really good textbook. We use many books in our program that are really dry and do not provide case study examples. This text makes it easier to understand the topics because of the "extra" information throughout the chapters: references, case studies, etc.
Great for those who may be current OT/OTA students and may be going into physical disabilities placements. This was a required text for one course but ended up being a useful resource for multiple courses as well as a prep for my first level 2 fieldwork assignment. I definitely feel this will be a good tool to reference through the rest of my program and even after graduation.
I bought this to have as an all-in-one resource for OT practical skills before going out on req 16 wk fieldwork. I have found it helpful and am using it to study for the boards.
I love the threaded case studies that really help to demonstrate the concept being taught. Being a textbook, it's not an *easy* read but it's accessible and useful.
This book is not only useful as its overarching understanding of the occupational therapy practitioner, but also as a reference.
Use this for my occupational therapy classes, and there is a great deal of useful information throughout. Would highly recommend this book, although it is quite heavy!
