Description
Written by a leading expert in the field, this comprehensive reference text enables users to properly screen for medical disease to make
an informed diagnosis. The goal of this proven text is to teach the Physical Therapist how to determine if the patient has a true neuromuscular
or musculoskeletal problem and to determine the specific dysfunction or impairment. Now with a new title that reflects a better understanding
of the screening process as the first step in making a diagnosis, this text provides students, physical therapy clinicians and physical
therapist assistants with a step-by-step approach to client evaluation, which follows the standards of competency established by the
American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) related to conducting a screening examination.
