Clinical Pathways: An Occupational Therapy Assessment for Range of Motion & Manual Muscle Strength

Clinical Pathways, an exciting first edition, helps students learn how to conduct ROM and MMT assessments for the body's main joint structures. It provides a novel occupational therapy-focused "Clinical Pathways of Assessment" model that connects physical assessment with clinical decision-making. Client-centered outcome measures are used to assess functional ability, and a standard chapter organization with color-coded design and online instructor resources is included. eBooks are also available for 24/7 access and convenience.

Clinical Pathways, an enthralling first edition, empowers students to master the art of conducting comprehensive range of motion (ROM) and manual muscle (MMT) assessments for the primary joint structures of the body. With a strong emphasis on clinical application, the text also presents a novel, occupational therapy-focused "Clinical Pathways of Assessment" model that seamlessly connects physical assessment with the clinical decision-making process. This innovative model equips students with the skills to effectively evaluate clients through an occupational profile and performance, ultimately preparing them for the crucial task of designing and modifying treatment plans to achieve optimal results.

A distinctive occupational therapy-focused decision-making framework guides students to observe functions within the clients' contextual and/or cultural environment using functional observations, postural screening, and current evidence-based outcome assessments.

A standardized chapter organization follows a structured template, encompassing each body structure and featuring learning objectives, anatomical descriptions, palpation of specific landmarks, functional movement patterns, ROM, and MMT assessments (vibrant muscular images with photography, and Test Your Skill Set (sample case studies)).

A visually striking multi-color design enhances navigation from the table of contents to each chapter, effectively organizing the content and offering convenient features like a thumb index.

Additionally, online instructor resources are available, including an interactive test bank based on case studies, further enhancing the learning experience.
