This book prepares readers for occupational therapy practice with adults who have physical disabilities. This text provides a foundation for the development of clinical reasoning skills in a case-based learning approach to physical dysfunction. Full-color photos, case studies, OT Practice Notes, ethical considerations, and end-of-chapter review questions reinforce learning, enhance retention, and prompt readers to apply principles in a clinical setting.--adapted from publisher's description.
