T2  - Introduction to Physical Therapy and Patient Skills
AB  - This  book  is  designed  to  introduce  a  conceptual  framework  about  the  art  of  physical  therapy  and  to  give  the  entry-level  physical  therapy  student  a  broad  foundation  to  support  their  journey  as  they  begin  the  in-depth  study  of  a  typical  physical  therapy  curriculum.  Included  in  this  conceptual  framework  are  a  historical  perspective  on  the  physical  therapy  profession,  an  introduction  to  healthcare  policy,  and  a  definition  of  evidence-informed  practice.  In  addition,  various  chapters  describe  how  movement  evolves,  how  that  movement  becomes  skilled,  and  how  movement  dysfunction  can  occur  or  develop.  Finally,  the  later  chapters  introduce  the  reader  to  the  knowledge  and  practical  skills  that  are  necessary  for  the  general  practice  of  physical  therapy  as  well  as  providing  a  foundation  for  the  development  of  specific  areas  of  clinical  expertise,  including  how  to  enhance  a  patient’s  function  in  such  tasks  as  bed  mobility,  transfers,  and  gait  training.
