Procedures and Patient Care for the Physical Therapist Assistant

Procedures and Patient Care for the Physical Therapist Assistant, 1st Edition, is a textbook designed to provide essential foundational knowledge for physical therapist assistant students. Written by Jennifer Memolo, the volume focuses directly on the procedural skills needed during initial clinical training.

The text addresses core clinical interventions and patient management topics, including vital signs measurement, positioning, bed mobility, transfers, gait, and wheelchair management.

Tailored specifically for physical therapist assistant learners rather than generalized healthcare workers, the volume supports coursework, board examination preparation, and post-graduation clinical practice. Each chapter includes learning objectives, key terms, common abbreviations, and review questions to assist study.
