Product Description
Understand how a patient's conditions might affect physical therapy and outcomes so that you can design safe and effective interventions. The only pathology textbook written specifically for physical therapists, Pathology: Implications for the Physical Therapist, Third Edition, offers guidelines, precautions, and contraindications for interventions with patients who have musculoskeletal or neuromuscular problems as well as other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or pancreatitis.

 s. Bemis, 2010-02-07
Fairly good - however, very little reference as to problem solving or the appropriate follow-up care with differential diagnoses commonly seen the PT arena. I would put it in the same cateogry as an Internal Medicine reference book for MD's - not reference friendly for PT's.

Price jumps up and down, 2010-01-01
The book is excellent. Very well thought out and easy to use. When I got the chance to flip through it, I found it hard to put down. Fascinating!
As far as Amazon is concerned, I am very dissapointed. I found this book, switched web pages and came back (less than 5 minutes later). The price jumped about $15 bucks. As I needed this book for school, I would have like to not get ripped off. So - the advice is - when you find the book you want. If it is a better price than the college bookstore - buy it. If you hesitate they will jack up the price on you. Not cool, Amazon!
Textbook = 5 stars.
Amazon = 0 stars!
