Guccione's Geriatric Physical Therapy

Guccione's Geriatric Physical Therapy, 4th Edition, provides clinical instruction for physical therapy students and practitioners. Across 736 pages, the textbook serves as a primary preparatory resource for the Geriatric Physical Therapy Specialization exam.

The volume addresses the management of cardiopulmonary, neurologic, and orthopedic conditions common in older adults. It also examines interventions for frailty, functional outcome assessments, and the psychosocial dimensions of aging.

To prepare readers for clinical practice, the textbook incorporates standard American Physical Therapy Association terminology. References at the end of each chapter point students toward credible external literature for further information.
