Dunleavy and Slowik’s Therapeutic Exercise Prescription delivers on exactly what today’s students (and their instructors) need from a core therapeutic exercise text. This all-new, full-color text combines evidence-based content, theoretical concepts, AND practical application to give students a robust understanding of therapeutic exercise. Using an approachable, easy-to-follow writing style, it introduces foundational concepts, discusses how to choose the right exercises, and guides students in developing goals for treatment. Coverage also includes the examination process and specific ways to choose, monitor, and evaluate the most effective exercise. Each exercise in the text is presented with progressions — a unique feature exclusive to this title — to give students an understanding of how the exercise(s) may change from the initial phase of exercise prescription to the functional recovery stage. In addition to its highly-digestible format, this text also boasts case studies, practical discussions, and engaging online videos to provide students with a more dynamic and more effective learning experience.
-
- UNIQUE! Clinical reasoning approach to exercise selection, modification, instruction, and progression provides a framework for students, from the initial exercise prescription to the functional recovery stage
- Emphasis on patient safety and precautions includes the use of the ICF model, as well as coverage of tissue healing and biometrics
- UNIQUE! Clinical case examples provide practical examples in a succinct compare and contrast format to help students build clinical reasoning skills and learn to apply theory to practice
- Full case studies cover all the regions of the body as well as each of the mobility-, trauma-, and psychologically-informed concepts
- Discussion questions and answers at the end of each case study and at the end each chapter encourage students to assimilate and use all previously acquired knowledge and help prepare them for the types of critical thinking they will be required to do in practice
- UNIQUE! Integrated content builds from foundational concepts, with reinforcement throughout the book using illustrations and explanations of important concepts
- UNIQUE! Discussion of broad categories, such as extremes of mobility impairments, types of trauma, and presence of psychological impairments, strengthen student assimilation and understanding
