Goodman and Snyder’s Differential Diagnosis for Physical Therapists: Screening for Referral, 8th Edition

• UNIQUE! Five-step screening model is systems- and symptoms-based, and follows the standards for competency established by the American Physical Therapy Association, covering past medical history, risk factor assessment, clinical presentation, associated signs and symptoms, and review of symptoms. • UNIQUE! Case studies are based on clinical experience and give real-world examples of how to integrate screening information into the diagnostic process and when to treat or refer. • Evidence for the screening process is based on peer-reviewed literature, reporting on the sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios of yellow (cautionary) and red (warning) flags. • Quick-reference summaries include tables, boxes, follow-up questions, clinical signs and symptoms, and case examples. • Key Points to Remember boxes at the end of each chapter provide quick, bulleted summaries of critical information. • Laboratory tests and values relating to physical therapist practice are presented in the inside front and back covers of the text for quick reference. • Enhanced eBook version--included with every print purchase--provides access to all the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights and have content read aloud.
