| Discipline: | Practice Med | | Subject Definition: | Physical Therapy Modalities; Aged; Aging-Physiology | | NLM Class: | WB 460 | | LC Class: | RC953.8 | | Abstract: | As the aging population continues to increase, so does the need for a text specific to the specialized care of the elderly patient as it applies to the physical therapist assistant student, faculty, and clinician."Geriatric Rehabilitation: A Textbook for the Physical Therapist Assistant", recognizes the growing role of the PTA in a variety of heath care settings from acute to home to long-term care settings, to name a few. Inside "Geriatric Rehabilitation", Dr. Jennifer Bottomley, along with her contributors, focuses on the clinically relevant assessment, treatment, and management of the geriatric population. Pathological manifestations commonly seen in the elderly patient are addressed from a systems perspective, as well as a focus on what is seen clinically and how it affects function.Each pathological area covered includes: screening, assessment, and evaluation; treatment prescription; goal setting; modification of treatment; anticipated outcomes; and, psychosocial, pharmacological, and nutritional elements.Some pathological conditions covered include: cardiovascular disease; cancer; arthritis; alzheimer's disease; and, aging with life-long disabilities. "Geriatric Rehabilitation: A Textbook for the Physical Therapist Assistant" answers the call for a text that focuses on the management of geriatric patients across the spectrum of care for the PTA, from students to those practicing in geriatric populations. |
