| Discipline: | Practice Med | | Subject Definition: | Physical Therapy Modalities; Aged; Aging-Physiology | | NLM Class: | WB 460 | | LC Class: | RC953.8 | | Abstract: | Geriatric Rehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant highlights the expanding role of the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) in caring for older adults across multiple health care settings, including acute care, outpatient rehabilitation, home health, and long-term care environments. The text focuses on clinically relevant assessment, treatment, and management of geriatric patients using a systems-based approach that connects common age-related pathologies with their functional impact on daily living. Each section guides readers through screening and evaluation, treatment planning, goal setting, modification of interventions, and anticipated outcomes while addressing psychosocial, pharmacological, and nutritional considerations essential to comprehensive patient care.Designed for both students and practicing PTAs, the book emphasizes practical, hands-on application of rehabilitation techniques and clinical decision-making skills. Chapters include intervention strategies, clinical tips, highlighted key concepts, and supportive study aids that reinforce learning and improve patient management across the continuum of care. This accessible resource equips readers with the knowledge and confidence needed to provide effective, patient-centered rehabilitation for the growing geriatric population. |
