Reviews for Dictionary of Physiotherapy

The book covers the evidence related to controversial techniques, patient-handling tasks, equipment used in these tasks, and interventions used to reduce injuries. There are many summary tables and flow charts. Studies are summarized and well referenced....This is great book for anyone who cares what the evidence shows related to patient handling and back injuries. I have never seen a book similar to this one. Nursing needs books like this for every type of intervention. This is true evidence-based practice and some of the findings challenge established practices. This is a must have book for those in risk management, employee health, and others developing patient care policy.. <br>-Doody Reviews, 2003 <br>
