– Red flags, contraindications, and indications related to different exercise interventions
– Documentation advice

– Pay attention to the portions in the book called “Eye on the Research,” which discuss recent findings and evidence-based procedures.
Online auxiliary materials, including PowerPoint slides and an Instructor’s Manual with quizzes and review questions, are also available with the text for use by educators in the classroom.
Principles of Therapeutic Exercise for the Physical Therapist Assistant is a superb, current manual that covers the fundamentals of therapeutic science for the whole care continuum. It was written especially to satisfy the educational needs of PTA students, instructors, and clinicians.
