| four square physical therapy: Documentation for Physical Therapist Practice Jacqueline A. Osborne, 2015-07-31 Documentation for Physical Therapist Practice: A Clinical Decision Making Approach provides the framework for successful documentation. It is synchronous with Medicare standards as well as the American Physical Therapy Association's recommendations for defensible documentation. It identifies documentation basics which can be readily applied to a broad spectrum of documentation formats including paper-based and electronic systems. This key resource utilizes a practical clinical decision making approach and applies this framework to all aspects of documentation. This text emphasizes how the common and standard language of the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model can be integrated with a physical therapist's clinical reasoning process and a physical therapist assistant's skill set to produce successful documentation. Includes content on documentation formations: Initial Evaluations, Re-examination Notes, Daily Notes, Conclusion of the Episode of Care Summaries, Home Exercise Program Reviews all the important issues related to style, types of documentation, and utilization of documentation Covers documentation relevant in different settings (inpatient, home health, skilled nursing facility, outpatient) Helps students learn how to report findings and demonstrate an appropriate interpretation of results Includes up-to-date information in line with APTA Guidelines for Defensible Documentation, World Health Organization, International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health Mode, and Medicare Reviews electronic documentation, ICD-9, ICD-10, and CPT codes Includes important chapters on Interprofessional Communication, Legal Aspects, Principles of Measurement |
| four square physical therapy: Motivated and Striving Upwards (MS_Up) Dr. J. Gary Reid, 2012-08-13 Let me express my comments expressed above this way: MS is not something I would have chosen in life. But having lived with it, and learned from it, for the past thirty years, and having had the experiences, and the friends (indeed, my second wife Cindy) that have come to me because of it, these are not things I would like to give up either. I guess the only thing I can say is that: “God always has a better plan for our lives than the one that we would have come up with. I hope this book will both entertain you and be of value to you. I have learned many, many simple things that make my life easier and more pleasant. I wish to share these things with you, particularly if you are in a situation like myself of being wheelchair-bound. |

| four square physical therapy: Molten Mud Murder Sara E. Johnson, 2019-11-03 First book in the Alexa Glock Mystery series! For a normal tourist, finding a body in a geothermal pool in New Zealand might ruin a vacation. Forensic specialist Alexa Glock, however, sees a chance to help local law enforcement with a baffling case. But as she finds herself embroiled in the tense investigation, she can't help but wonder: is the past better left undisturbed, or unearthed? These thrilling New Zealand mysteries are: Perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs and Nevada Barr For readers of international mysteries and forensic investigation mysteries When a body is found half-submerged in a molten mud pot in one of Rotorua's famous geothermal wonderlands, forensics expert Alexa Glock spots a way to prolong her stay in New Zealand, which she has been visiting for work. Teeth are her expertise, and the investigation needs her help, as other ways of identifying the body may have... melted away. Joining Detective Inspector Bruce Horne and his team, Alexa finds herself sleuthing out more than teeth. She soon discovers that the murder victim, a city councilman, had trespassed on an island sacred to the Maori. The ancient punishment for such a transgression is disaster, demonic possession, or death... and when she visits the island to investigate, the same outcome is promised for her. Alexa is fascinated by New Zealand culture but doesn't quite believe in ancient spirits returning to exact revenge, so when another victim turns up dead, she begins to wonder whether the real threat is something—or someone—much closer to home. A fast-paced forensic mystery set in New Zealand, Molten Mud Murder introduces Alexa Glock, an investigator with a knack for gleaning the truth from bones and teeth. Full of enough forensics and action for fans of Kathy Reichs or the tv series Bones, Sara E. Johnson presents a page-turning story about facing the past and cracking the door open to an unexpected future. |

| four square physical therapy: Treating NVLD in Children Jessica Broitman, John M. Davis, 2013-03-14 Children with nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD) have needs that can take many forms and may, over time, require consultation and collaboration with professionals from several fields. Given that multiple specialists may be involved in working with children with NVLD – as well as the array of treatment variables – even seasoned practitioners may find themselves in confusing situations. Treating NVLD in Children takes a developmental view of how the problems and needs of young people with nonverbal learning disabilities evolve and offers a concise guide for professionals who are likely to contribute to treatment. Expert practitioners across specialties in psychology, education, and rehabilitative therapy explain their roles in treatment, the decisions they are called on to make, and their interactions with other professionals. Collaborative interventions and teamwork are emphasized, as are transitions to higher learning, employment, and the adult world. Among the book’s key features are: A new four-subtype model of NVLD, with supporting research. A brief guide to assessment, transmitting results, and treatment planning. Chapters detailing the work of psychologists, therapists, coaches, and others in helping children with NVLD. Material specific to improving reading, writing, and mathematics. Overview of issues in emotional competency and independent living. An instructive personal account of growing up with NVLD. Treating NVLD in Children: Professional Collaborations for Positive Outcomes is a key resource for a wide range of professionals working with children, including school and clinical child psychologists; educational psychologists and therapists; pediatricians; social workers and school counselors; speech and language therapists; child and adolescent psychiatrists; and marriage and family therapists. |
