The definitive, A-to-Z overview of evidence-based rehab programs using therapeutic exercise
In this exceptional evidence-and-guide-based, clinically-oriented resource, you'll learn everything you need to know
about the design, implementation, and supervision of therapeutic exercise programs for orthopedic injuries and
disorders. The book's logical five-part organization begins with an instructive look at the foundations of the
rehabilitation process, then covers the treatment of physiologic impairments during rehabilitation; rehabilitation
tools; intervention strategies; and special considerations for specific patient populations.
The definitive guide to designing and implementing evidence-based rehabilitation programs using therapeutic exercise --
updated in full color
Musculoskeletal Interventions, 3rd Edition, is a comprehensive guide to the system considerations, design,
implementation, and progression of rehabilitation programs for musculoskeletal injuries and dysfunction. Encompassing
many aspects of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, with contributions from many renowned authors, it focuses on the
practical application of theory in a clinical setting, making it valuable to both students and experienced physical
therapists. Musculoskeletal Interventions features an easy-to-follow body region and functional approach to
intervention strategies and is logically divided into five sections:
Foundations of the Rehabilitation Process
Addresses the important considerations in designing a rehabilitation program for the patient with a musculoskeletal
injury
Provides a guide-based overview of the rehabilitation process as well as an introduction to Clinical Reasoning and
Algorithmic Thinking in rehabilitation
Treating Physiologic Impairments During Rehabilitation
Presents information on various physical impairments that may need to be addressed as part of the rehabilitation process
The Tools of Rehabilitation
Provides an overview of important rehabilitation tools and strategies
Delivers detailed coverage of how these interventions should be incorporated into a rehabilitation program to achieve
the individualized treatment goals for patients with musculoskeletal pathologies
Intervention Strategies for Specific Injuries
Covers specific rehabilitation techniques and interventions applied to the treatment of a wide variety of regional
musculoskeletal injuries, dysfunctions, and post-operative conditions
Special Consideration for Specific Patient Populations
Discusses treatment considerations for specific patient populations, such as the geriatric patient, pediatric patient,
and physically active female
This edition is enhanced by a new full-color presentation, as well as the inclusion of valuable learning aids, such as
clinical pearls, protocol grids, algorithms, learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter, and end-of-chapter
treatment guidelines and references.
