Reviews
"Malone and Lindsay have made a major contribution to the profession of physical therapy in the fifteen chapters and 679 pages of this new book. With nine contributors, the editors highlight and emphasize what a PT or PTA should know in working with the acute patient care... On the back cover, the publisher states, 'Whether you are a student of physical therapy, a physical therapist entering the acute care environment, or an experienced acute care physical therapist, Physical Therapy in Acute Care is the only resource for successful patient management you will need by your side.' Those words should go far in your overcoming any concern of working in an acute care program. The text is well-supported with black line drawings and extensive references at the end of each chapter. There also are 17 pages of vital abbreviations." - Jay Schleichkorn, PhD, PT, Dr. Jay's E-Book Reports, "My first paid job as a licensed physical therapist... I was assigned to the acute care team… Physical Therapy in Acute Care is the resource I wish I had back then!… Physical Therapy in Acute Care will be the resource to which I will turn to refresh and update my knowledge of acute care practice. Physical Therapy in Acute Care represents many textbooks combined into one resource. Daniel Malone and Kathy Lee Bishop Lindsay clearly have invested an enormous amount of time, energy, and brain power to make this book possible and their efforts paid off. Bravo!" From the Foreword by Dianne V. Jewell, PT, PhD, CCS, FAACVPR, "The chapter on clinical lab values will always be a useful reference... I am a clinician with more than 20 years of experience, and I know I will look at this chapter again and again, depending on which type of patient I may be called on to treat at the level 1 acute-care hospital where I practice... I would recommend this textbook to any acute-care physical therapist, whether an experienced clinician or new grad." --Mary Casey, ADVANCE for Physical Therapists & PT Assistants, "This book is well written with a logical format that is easy to follow. This book does provide relevant information that could be utilized when planning physiotherapy intervention in this patient population. The writing style is easy to read with good use of diagrams and summary tables. This book is suitable for physiotherapists at all levels... it provides good value for money and would be a useful reference within a physiotherapy department." -- Fiona Schreuder, ScienceDirect, "Malone and Lindsay have made a major contribution to the profession of physical therapy in the fifteen chapters and 679 pages of this new book.
