The first diagnosis book written by PTs for PTs that is based on how patients come into the clinic...by their presenting symptom, not by organ system! A pioneering team of practitioners and educators address the growing need for PTs to determine whether a patients condition is appropriate for physical therapy...to identify the relevant underlying pathology...and to ensure that a serious condition has not been overlooked. Practical, well organized, and easy to use, its a resource that youll consult every day when evaluating and formulating treatment plans for both adults and children.
