Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy, Fourth Edition

Everything you need to excel in cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy--complete with updates based on the effects of COVID 19

Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy provides must-know background knowledge on the subject, thoroughly explains exercise principles, cites the best evidence, and integrates the American Physical Therapy Association’s approved practice patterns into the chapter content. Viral fatigue syndromes have been revised based on COVID 19.

Preferred practice patterns that form the core of eight chapters are used as springboards to describe interventions and outcomes, while case studies illustrate how these practice patterns have worked in real-life situations. Case studies highlight the patient-client management model with appropriate test, measures, and interventions selected from the practice patterns and applied to the patient.
