A Clinical Approach to Geriatric Rehabilitation , 4th Edition (EPUB)

written by author Jennifer M. Bottomley

Because of the ongoing validation or rejection of established ideas and methods , together with the development of new evidence-based assessment and treatment approaches , the field of geriatric rehabilitation is always evolving . A Clinical Approach to Geriatric Rehabilitation , now in its Fourth Edition , has been revised to give physical therapists an evidence-based manual for the clinical facets of rehabilitative therapy for patients and clients who are older adults . A Clinical Approach to Geriatric Rehabilitation , Fourth Edition’s first section addresses practical gerontological principles and offers the general knowledge foundation required for treating elderly individuals . This part covers many additional core aspects, such as age-related changes in physiology and function , dietary needs investigation, and patient evaluation .

Topics like neurologic issues , cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular considerations and creating community-based screening programmes are more narrowly focused in the second section on patient care concepts . The latter section’s chapters are devoted to administration and management , covering crucial concerns including attitudes , ethics and legal matters in addition to research and consulting . Additional highlights of the Fourth Edition update include : a Pearls section that provides brief synopses of each chapter’s content ; updated illustrations , pictures and diagrams to help visualise the material ; content summaries and condensed text for improved readability and updated case studies to demonstrate clinical decision making .
