By Jason Brumitt, Erin Jobst

Physical Therapy Case Files: Orthopaedics, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive resource on orthopaedic physical therapy practice designed to help physical therapists sharpen their critical thinking skills and prepare for real-world practice. Written by Jason Brumitt and Erin Jobst, leading clinicians, researchers, and academics in the field of physical therapy, this updated edition features more than three dozen orthopaedic cases with National Physical Therapy Examination-style review questions to help users learn best practices in the context of patient care.

The book is an ideal resource for coursework, NPTE preparation, and in the clinic. Each case includes a discussion of the health condition, examination, evaluation, diagnosis, plan of care and interventions, evidence-based practice recommendations, and references. With new content on blood flow restriction, dry needling, thoracic spine manipulation, and exercise for chronic low back pain, this book is an indispensable companion for physical therapists looking to enhance their knowledge of orthopaedic physical therapy.

What sets this book apart is its focus on evidence-based practice. The cases include evidence-based ratings for treatment plans, making it easier for physical therapists to apply the latest research findings to patient care. This approach is particularly valuable in today’s healthcare environment, where evidence-based practice is increasingly important for ensuring positive patient outcomes.

The book is well-structured, with each case presented in a clear and concise manner. The authors use a case-filled approach to teach critical thinking skills and prepare physical therapists for real-life situations. This approach is effective because it allows readers to see how theory and research can be applied in practice. By working through these cases, physical therapists can develop a deeper understanding of orthopaedic physical therapy and become more effective clinicians.

The NPTE-style review questions accompanying each case reinforce readers’ learning. These questions are designed to test readers’ understanding of the material and help them prepare for the NPTE exam. They are also a valuable tool for self-assessment, allowing readers to identify areas where they need to improve their knowledge.

Overall, Physical Therapy Case Files: Orthopaedics, 2nd Edition is an excellent resource for physical therapists seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in orthopaedic physical therapy. Its evidence-based approach, clear and concise presentation of each case, and NPTE-style review questions make it an ideal resource for coursework use, NPTE preparation, and in the clinic.
