Case Files in Physical Therapy Pediatrics

by Eric S. Pelletier

Overview

Thirty pediatrics physical therapy cases sharpen students’ critical thinking skills and prepare them for real-world practice

This unique review features case studies that help physical therapy students successfully transition from coursework to clinical work. Each of the more than thirty cases includes a discussion of the health condition, examination, evaluation, diagnosis, plan of care, and interventions, evidence-based practice recommendations, and references. NPTE-style review questions accompany each case, reinforcing students’ learning. These case studies give students practical experience before they actually work with patients and helps build the confidence they need to succeed in real-world clinical practice.

• Analysis of the case includes remediation material, making the book almost completely self-contained
• Spares instructors from having to create their own cases as is often done
