Fundamentals of the Physical Therapy Examination: Patient Interview and Tests & Measures

introduces physical therapy students to essential screening and examination techniques that form the foundation of their practice, across all body systems.

It then builds on the foundational knowledge and helps students develop clinical decision-making skills.

Experienced clinicians make numerous and rapid decisions about what questions to ask during a patient interview, what systems need to be screened for problems that lie outside the scope of physical therapy, and what tests and measures must be performed during an initial patient examination.
