[Book Description]

『Evaluation and Treatment of the Shoulder: An Intergration of the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice』provides physical therapists, as well as occupational therapists, athletic trainers, and others, with a resouce that integrates the musculoskeletal practice patterns in the Guide with the rehabilitation of the shoulder. This text introduces orthopedic conditions based on clustering impairments and in so doing embraces the Guide's philosophy that physical therapists and other rehabilitation specialists diagnose the consequences of disease, pathology, injury, or surgery on the musculoskeletal system. These consequences include related impairments, functional losses, and disabilities that have been and continue to be the purview of physical therapy practice.
The purpose of 『Evaluation and Treatment of the Shoulder』 is twofold: to serve as a model that presents shoulder conditions from an impairment-based perspective so that the Guides's preferred practice patterns outlining treatment strategies can be uesed and assessed for their feasibility and effectiveness. Second, the text is an excellent basic resource for the entry-level clinician for all aspects of shoulder rehabilitation. Whether or not practicing clinicians embrace the guidelines contained in the Guide, this text provides them with an excellent updated resource on the care and management of selected shoulder conditions.
