Textbook of Physiotherapy for BPT Students | Single-volume Course Text Covering Exercise Therapy, Massage, Hydrotherapy, PNF and Physiotherapy for Musculoskeletal and Neurological Conditions

Textbook of Physiotherapy is a single-volume course text for physiotherapy students that brings the core areas of the curriculum together in one book, written to double as a handbook so that students find everything in one place. The author has kept the chapters simple and supported them throughout with illustrative pictures. The book is organised into seven sections: exercise therapy and massage (including hydrotherapy, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, normal human locomotion, walking aids and gait training); physiotherapy for musculoskeletal conditions (spine, hip, knee, ankle and foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, scoliosis, amputees, arthritis and fractures); physiotherapy for neurological conditions (cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, peripheral nerve injuries, Guillain-Barre syndrome, ataxias); physiotherapy in obstetrics and gynaecology; physiotherapy for pulmonary and cardiac conditions, covering pulmonary rehabilitation and cardiac rehabilitation; physiotherapy in abdominal and thoracic surgeries; and ethics and management and special techniques in physiotherapy. For easy understanding it describes goniometry and anthropometric measurements, gives clinical tests with illustrative pictures for every clinical condition, and covers physiotherapy for burns, amputees and scoliosis, fracture management, pre- and post-operative physiotherapy for abdominal and thoracic conditions, motor control and motor learning, and special manual-therapy techniques for neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. Chapters on professional ethics and on management for physiotherapists are included. Who This Book Is For: BPT / physiotherapy students: as a single-volume course text and handbook spanning exercise therapy and massage, and musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiorespiratory and obstetric physiotherapy through to ethics and management.
