Critical Pathways in Therapeutic Intervention: Upper Extremities | David C. Saidoff, Andrew L. McDonough | ISBN:0815144865 | 1st Edition | PDF | 368 pages | 19.7 MB

Critical Pathways provides a clinically-based, problem-solving approach to rehabilitation that integrates concepts from sports medicine, physical and occupational therapy, geriatrics, ergonomics, kinesiology, and physiatry. It uses a case-study format that simulates real encounters with patient and covers many of the maladies most commonly seen in outpatient rehabilitation.

This book was written to provide insight into the decision-making process that occurs during the evaluation and treatment of a variety of upper-extremity conditions commonly seen in physical therapy. Unlike many books that review the anatomy, biomechanics, pathophysiology – the physiology of disordered function and evaluation and treatment of common conditions, this text uses a case format, answers the questions surrounding the case, and presents information concerning the condition’s typical presentation. The case format, however, does not limit the information regarding the diagnosis, because all perspectives are presented.

Twenty-five cases are presented, encompassing most of the problems typically seen in patients receiving physical therapy for upper-extrmity disorders. The cases also cover the life span, from neonates to the geriatric population.
