Geriatric Physical Therapy offers a comprehensive presentation of geriatric physical therapy science and practice. Thoroughly revised and updated, editors Andrew Guccione, Rita Wong, and Dale Avers and their contributors provide current information on aging-related changes in function, the impact of these changes on patient examination and evaluation, and intervention approaches that maximize optimal aging. Chapters emphasize evidence-based content that clinicians can use throughout the patient management process. Six new chapters include: Exercise Prescription, Older Adults and Their Families, Impaired Joint Mobility, Impaired Motor Control, Home-based Service Delivery, and Hospice and End of Life. Clinically accurate and relevant while at the same time exploring theory and rationale for evidence-based practice, it’s perfect for students and practicing clinicians. It’s also an excellent study aid for the Geriatric Physical Therapy Specialization exam.

I have worked as a PT for over 30 years. This is a great general knowledge book for geriatrics, written in plain English. I recommend it.By Pauline Navarro
I am currently studying for the GCS exam and was using this a secondary read along with the FOCUS material. I stopped reading this as it is very basic information and is not much of an informative read with anything out of the ordinary or ground breaking. I have actually found the Geriatric Rehabilitation Manual, 2e a lot more helpful and informative. This book is just so-so.By Big R
