Review of this book state: "This book was required by our program and is very informative and descriptive along with illustrations which are beneficial when you are a visual learner!" A review from Book News Inc states: "Thirty-seven physical therapy academics and practitioners from the U.S. and Canada contribute 34 chapters to a text providing physical therapist assistant students and clinicians with clear, concise recommendations for evidence-based physical therapy interventions for patients with any physical therapy diagnosis. The book is based on Cameron (OHSU, Portland, Oregon) and Monroe's (John Muir Health, Walnut Creek, CA) physical therapists' textbook, with material adapted to address physical therapist assistants' unique needs. Suitable for the generalist as well as the specialist providing care beyond his/her area of expertise, the text contains case studies throughout which demonstrate clinical application of the concepts. Organized by preferred practice patterns, the text covers rehabilitation of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and integumentary systems, and interventions overlapping those systems. Illustrated with full-color and b&w photographs and diagrams." And: "Physical Rehabilitation is a well ordered and comprehensive text beneficial to students and practitioners. It would also be of use to patients who want want to learn more about treatments they may be undertaking. The book is superbly organized and clearly illustrated."
