Clinical Prediction Rules: A Physical Therapy Reference Manual is constructed in such a manner that it is intended to be used for multiple musculoskeletal courses. It includes musculoskeletal clinical prediction rules organized by region thus allowing for its repeated use during the upper quarter, lower quarter as well as the students’ spine coursework. Additionally, the manual includes multiple medical screening prediction rules so that it is appropriate to introduce in differential diagnosis coursework as well as a diagnostic imaging class. Perfect for entry-level physical therapy programs, this text is also suitable for post-professional physical therapy programs especially those that include an orthopedic residency or manual therapy fellowship program, and also as a reference manual for students going out on their clinical affiliations.
