Occupational Therapy for Physical Dysfunction

Excellent resource for the new OT, or an OT like myself who worked in adult rehab years ago, but who has spent the past 10 years in pediatrics and is considering switching to adult rehab. Even the experienced therapist will find a wealth of useful information on all areas of physical rehabilitation.

Occupational Therapy for Physical Dysfunction by Mary Vining Radomski

Excellent delivery and well worth for the money very good presentation will deal again highly recommended

The bible of physical dysfunction

As an OT student, I've used this book more in clinic (rehab settings) than any other text I own. It is an invaluable reference for manual muscle testing and goniometery. Trombly carries over from class to clinic with ease, and I've even had OTRs borrow it during my fieldwork.

Excellent Resource

As an occupational therapy student currently assigned to a physical dysfunction site, I have found this text to be the most valuable. I advise any student taking the NBCOT exam or begining a affilitation in physical dysfunction to purchase this text!!

"OT for Phys Dys" was a survival tool

OT for Physical Dysfunction proved to be indispensible both in school and in practice. This text has practice skills in assessment and treatment organized for use in problem-based and in evidence-based learning courses. Treatment principles are outlined with actual therapy techniques, sample documentation and specific information to treat different diagnoses with photos. Absolutely my most-used text.
