This is probably what I consider as the Bible in the realm of Physical Therapy. I have had this book ever since I was in college and it has proven to be valuable to me now that I am in my 11th year of practice as it was when I was still in my budding internship. I consider the cases found at the end of every chapter as the most helpful and insightful and for anyone hooked on evidence-based treatment strategies, this book is a must. Ms. Sullivan's work is seminal and phenomenal!

Great book, extremely comprehensive. Great reference for multiple aspects of current PT/PTA practice

This book covers a wide variety of topics not only through the etiology and pathophysiology of a disease process, but also through treatment options and clinical presentation of a patient.

It is a book that is indispensable for the first year of the residence. It is practical, complete and helps to systematize the information. It is a means of very important introduction to the rehabilitation. Highly advisable.

It is very helpfull for license eaxame in Canada and USA...there is no other text which can replace this one.(it is all inclusive)
If you are going for any physical therapy exam then you have to read it.
It is also a very important refrence which should be In your practice near to your hands or at least in your library.

This book is huge, there is so much to cover and they tried to put it all in one book. This may be an expensive one but is well worth the money as it is a comprehensive overview of rehabilitation.

There is a good reason Physical Rehabilitation Assessment and Treatment is the go-to resource for physical therapists: it is comprehensive, detailed, and well-illustrated. For example, there is extensive and detailed coverage of how to handle amputations, including illustrations, exercises, and physical and psychological factors to be sensitive to. There are tons of charts and diagrams that summarize important information and resources for further reading. Each chapter is written by an expert in their field. The book is broken down into 4 major sections:
I. Introduction to Patient Care: Decision Making, Psychosocial Factors, and Values. Three chapters long.
II. Examination: Nine chapters, covering from Vital Signs to Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Velocity Tests to Musculoskeletal Examination.
III. Intervention Strategies for Rehabilitation: the biggest section with 22 chapters, such as Locomotor Training, Vascular, Lymphatic, and Integumentary Disorders, and Neurogenic
IV. Orthotics, Prosthetics, and the Prescriptive Wheelchair: 3 chapters: Orthotics, Prosthetics
and The Prescriptive Wheelchair

Plus there is an extensive glossary and index. In short, anyone practicing PT will want this book.
