Neurologic Interventions for Physical Therapy, 2nd Edition (ORIGINAL PDF from Publisher)

Neurologic Interventions for Physical Therapy, 4th Edition by Suzanne Tink Martin, Mary Kessler, and Suzanne Martin is a comprehensive resource bridging the pathophysiology of neurologic deficits with effective rehabilitation interventions to enhance movement outcomes for adult and pediatric patients. This updated edition explores the nervous system’s structure and function, normal motor development, motor control, motor learning, and pathophysiology, alongside common physical therapy treatment techniques. Aligned with the APTA’s Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, 2nd Edition, it incorporates the latest terminology, new chapters on proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and other adult neurological conditions. PNF techniques are detailed to boost strength, flexibility, and range of motion for functional tasks. Featuring 700 vivid illustrations, helpful learning aids like objectives, tables, intervention boxes, and review questions, plus case histories with subjective and objective assessments, planning, and critical decision-making, this book ensures mastery of key concepts. Current outcomes-based research and abundant visuals make this an essential tool for physical therapy students and practitioners.
