The 4th Edition of the gold standard of rehabilitation resources is now in full color and thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the art and science of practice today! A compendium of frequently used, but rarely memorized information organized for easy reference, it covers an extraordinary breadth of topics—from the full range of basic scientific information (neuroanatomy and clinical neurology, osteology and clinical orthopedics, general anatomy, cardiac and pulmonary anatomy) to the treatments and methods used in modern rehabilitation practice.

This is the book that will help students as they transition to clinical practice; that practicing Physical Therapists will need as they pursue a transitional DPT; and that rehabilitation specialists will need to refresh their clinical knowledge.

Arranged by anatomic region, it provides an overview of functional anatomy and joint kinematics for the spine and extremities. For each mobilization technique, a detailed description of patient and clinician position along with photographs that include force vector arrows and points of stabilization is provided.

The vital clinical information you need. HIPAA-compliant, wipe-free, waterproof, reusable patient assessment tools and worksheets, Davis's Notes are portable, indispensable, pocket-sized tools that students and professionals can refer to for the delivery of safe and effective health care. Organized by life span, Screening Notes is a quick and user-friendly tool for all health-care providers, regardless of practice setting. Screening Notes provides a guide to effective screening for medical pathologies and co-morbidities that may profoundly influence therapeutic management or fall outside the scope of practice.
