Neuromuscular Essentials: Applying the Preferred Physical Therapist Practice PatternsSManswers the call to what today's physical therapy students and clinicians are looking for when integrating theGuide to Physical Therapist Practiceas it relates to the neuromuscular system in clinical care. As a part of theEssentials in PhysicalTherapy led by Series Editor Dr. Marilyn Moffat,Neuromuscular Essentials: Applying the Preferred Physical Therapist Practice PatternsSMis edited by Joanell Bohmert in a user-friendly format that not only brings together the conceptual frameworks of theGuidelanguage, but also parallels the patterns of theGuide. In each case, where appropriate, a brief review of the pertinent anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and imaging is provided. Each pattern then details one to five diversified case studies coinciding with theGuideformat. The physical therapist examination, including history, systems review, and specific tests and measures for each case, as well as evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care, and evidence-based interventions are also addressed. Sample Cases in Some of the Practice Patterns Include: -Impaired Neuromotor Development: A child with Down syndrome; a child with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) -Impaired Motor Function and Sensor Integrity Associated with Progressive Disorders of the Central Nervous System: A patient with Parkinson's disease that progresses from stage 1 to stage 5 (presented in 4 cases); a patient with MS -Impaired Peripheral Nerve Integrity and Muscle Performance Associated with Peripheral Nerve Injury: A patient with dizziness; a patient with BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo); a patient with unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction; a patient with bilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction; a patient with Meniere's disease; a patient with carpal tunnel syndrome -Impaired Motor Function and Sensory Integrity Associated with Acute or Chronic Polyneruopathies: A patient with Guillian-Barre syndrome (GBS) -Impaired Motor Function, Peripheral Nerve Integrity, and Sensory Integrity Associated with Nonprogressive Disorders of the Spinal Cord: A 17-year old patient with C5 SCI; a 40-year old patient with T11 SCI At long last, Dr. Marilyn Moffat and Joanell Bohmert have created a book that will integrate the parameters of theGuide, as it relates to the neuromuscular system, into the practice arena, that not only covers the material but also allows for a problem-solving approach to learning for educators and students.
