Integumentary Essentials

Integumentary Essentials: Applying the Preferred Physical Therapist Practice Patterns (SM) answers the call to what today's physical therapy students and clinicians are looking for when integrating the ""Guide to Physical Therapist Practice"" as it relates to the integumentary system in clinical care. As a part of ""Essentials in Physical Therapy"" led by Series Editor Dr. Marilyn Moffat, ""Integumentary Essentials: Applying the Preferred Physical Therapist Practice Patterns (SM)"" is edited by Katherine Biggs Harris in a user-friendly format that not only brings together the conceptual frameworks of the Guide language, but also parallels the patterns of the Guide. In each case, where appropriate, a brief review of the pertinent anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, imaging, and pharmacology is provided. Each pattern then details three diversified case studies coinciding with the Guide format.
