Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation: An Evidence-Based Approach: Expert Consult - Online and Print

I'm a PT student on clinical practices and found that this book is an excellent resource to help me know general information about so many ortopaedic conditions but also have protocols that gives me ideas of what I can do and what I can't do to the patient. This book it just help you to not feel lost when you recieve a patient with a ortopaedic condition that you have never seen before. The general information help me to know more about the condditions and makes more easy the process of education of the patients about the injury or surgical procedures that they have suffer. In short to me this book is a must for any student of PT.

It is an excellent book. I am a PT and see patients all the time for rehab post surgery. This is helpful and providing very clear information to several different common procedures and provide evidence-based protocols that are criteria based on the most part. It is very common that some physicians will have their own protocols that they developed in partnership with their rehab teams, but many times the patient will come without anything except the precautions. So this book is a very nice source for those cases. The internet access to Expert Consult is also very nice because you can watch the videos and perform searches for terms without having to read the whole chapter or the index trying to find something.

I have been out of PT school now for a little over a year and am working in an outpatient orthopedic setting now. This was my favorite resource during PT school and is still my favorite resource now that I am out working. It has great practical and relatively concise information regarding many diagnoses and pathologies, especially vs. my larger ortho resources (Dutton, Magee). It also has many protocols located at the end of each chapter. I would highly recommend this book to all PT's treating in an outpatient orthopedic setting.

All of my classes have taught pathologies/testing and therapy/rehab separately. It's been driving me crazy that there has been no connection in the classroom. This book does a great job of explaining pathologies and related anatomy and then immediately providing you with a plan of action. As a student, this has been an excellent resource in helping to develop my thought process from evaluation to treatment.

Aside from Indiana Hand Protocol Book, probably the BEST book out there for comprehensive coverage on protocols and process of UE/LE rehabilitation. Especially love the added evidence based area with additional references for further reading. Fabulous book!

well put together and great illustrations

I run the post-op program at our facility, and I must say this is a comprehensive text. MANY protocols to CONSIDER (never drink the cool-aid without critical thinking first). Good evidence to support their guidelines. A must for any PT's library for reference.

This is a fantastic book. The best rehab book out there for Ortho stuff

Como residente de MFyR lo veo imprescindible para toda la rehabilitación ortopédica. Muy completo y didáctico, con los protocolos al final de cada temario. Una biblia!

Für alle, die in der Rehabilitation arbeiten sollte dies ein Standardwerk sein. In allen Bereichen der State of the art. Mit vielen direkten Studiennachweisen.
