Geriatric Rehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant recognizes the growing role of the PTA in a variety of heath care settings from acute to home to long-term care settings.
Geriatric Rehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant focuses on the clinically relevant assessment, treatment, and management of the geriatric population. Pathological manifestations commonly seen in the elderly patient are addressed from a systems perspective, as well as a focus on what is seen clinically and how it affects function. Each pathological area covered includes:
- Screening, assessment, and evaluation
- Treatment prescription
- Goal setting
- Modification of treatment
- Anticipated outcomes
- Psychosocial, pharmacological, and nutritional elements
The chapters also include suggested treatment interventions techniques, tips, and options, Pearls that highlight important chapter information, and appendices and study aids. The organization and presentation of the practical, hands-on components of interventions, assessments, and decision-making skills make this a go-to text for the PTA to administer comprehensive geriatric care at each point along the continuum of care.
Geriatric Rehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant is a key text for students and those practicing in geriatric populations.
