Description

As the role of the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) expands in the area of intervention approaches for neurological rehabilitation, the Second Edition of this text offers a timely update to reflect these emerging changes. It includes a more comprehensive explanation and discussion of intervention techniques used in both pediatric and adult patient/client populations. Also included is a more thorough discussion of examination tools and their application because of the growing need for the PTA to identify the progress of the intervention using the tools from the initial examination and to assist in completing the discharge examination. This edition now includes a new chapter on documentation to help the PTA develop the skills necessary for clear record keeping as well as ensuring optimal patient care and reimbursement for services provided.
