| different kinds of physical therapy: Careers in Physical Therapy Institute For Institute For Career Research, 2017-05-23 A YOUNG MOTHER STRUGGLES WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. A teenager sustains a concussion playing football. A soldier loses a leg. A child is born with cerebral palsy. An elderly man suffers a stroke. Thanks to the efforts of physical therapists, the young mother can now hold her child without fear of falling. The teenager is no longer experiencing dizziness and headaches. The soldier learns to walk normally with a prosthesis. The child takes her first step. The elderly man regains function and resumes daily activities. Physical therapists, sometimes called PTs, play a major role in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of people with all kinds of injuries, illnesses, and chronic conditions. The most common goal is to help people improve their movement and manage their pain. Treatment plans may include a combination of exercise, traction, mobilization, muscle manipulation, ultrasound, electrotherapy, vestibular training, motor development, and patient education. Assistive and adaptive devices may be used, such as crutches, wheelchairs, orthotics, and prosthetics. An important component of physical therapy is teaching an individual how to move or perform particular tasks in ways that will speed recovery and prevent further injury. Physical therapy, which has been evolving for more than 200 years, can treat a wider range of problems with greater success than ever before. Today, there are many different kinds of physical therapy. Which kind is needed depends on the type of health problem. For example, a patient recovering from a heart attack needs different care than an athlete with a sports injury. Physical therapists are trained to be able to treat all kinds of patients. Because there are so many different kinds, many PTs specialize in one particular area, such as orthopedics or pediatrics. A physical therapist can become board certified in any of nine areas, but there are many more specialties that can be practiced without certification. Physical therapists must earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and become licensed to practice in their state. In total, it takes seven years of intense schooling after high school graduation to get to that point. Is it worth the time and hard work? Absolutely, say those in the field. In fact, physical therapy has been consistently ranked among the best careers to pursue. At a glance, the over 35 percent job growth over the next 10 years is exceptional. PTs are needed everywhere and the demand is far outpacing supply. Salaries are also good, generally ranging from $85,000 to $100,000 a year. The single reason most PTs are happy in their careers is the enormous satisfaction they get from helping people return to normal, fulfilling lives. Are you looking for a career that offers great job security and the opportunity to earn a comfortable living? If you are compassionate, patient, and physically fit, read on. Physical therapy may be what you are looking for. |

The chapters present the physiology and pathophysiology for defined patient populations consistent with the American Physical Therapy Association’s Guide to Physical Therapy Practice. Patient cases also supplement each chapter to illustrate how understanding the content of the chapter informs physical therapy examination, testing, and treatment. The patient/client management model from the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice defines the structure of the patient cases, and the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) model of disablement has been inserted into each patient case. Highlighted “Clinician Comments” appear throughout each patient case to point out the critical thinking considerations.

Yockey, 2023-03-10 Without question, statistics is one of the most challenging courses for students in the social and behavioral sciences. Enrolling in their first statistics course, students are often apprehensive or extremely anxious toward the subject matter. And while IBM SPSS® is one of the more easy-to-use statistical software programs available, for anxious students who realize they not only have to learn statistics but also new software, the task can seem insurmountable. Keenly aware of students’ anxiety with statistics (and the fact that this anxiety can affect performance), Ronald D. Yockey has written SPSS® Demystified: A Simple Guide and Reference, now in its fourth edition. Through a comprehensive, step-by-step approach, this text is consistently and specifically designed to both alleviate anxiety toward the subject matter and build a successful experience analyzing data in SPSS®. Topics covered in the text are appropriate for most introductory and intermediate statistics and research methods courses. Key features of the text: • Step-by-step instruction and screenshots • Designed to be hands-on with the user performing the analyses alongside the text on their computer as they read through each chapter • Call-out boxes provided, highlighting important information as appropriate • SPSS® output explained, with written results provided using the popular, widely recognized APA format • End-of-chapter exercises included, allowing for additional practice • SPSS® data sets available on the publisher’s website New to the Fourth Edition: • Fully updated to SPSS® 28 • Updated screenshots in full color to reflect changes in the SPSS® software system (version 28) • Exercises updated with up-to-date examples • Exact p-values provided (consistent with APA recommendations) |
