About this ebook
The Early’s Physical Dysfunction Practice Skills for the Occupational Therapy Assistant (4th Edition), edited by Mary Elizabeth Patnaude, comprehensively covers the rehabilitation process specifically tailored for OTA students and practitioners. Grounded in the latest Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF), the text focuses on client-centered assessment, intervention principles, and clinical applications for adults with physical disabilities. [1, 2]
The main topics and chapters covered in this edition are organized into seven core sections: [1]
Part I: Foundations
- Chapter 1: Occupational Therapy and Physical Disabilities
- Chapter 2: The Disability Experience and the Therapeutic Process
- Chapter 3: Infection Control and Safety Issues in the Clinic [1]
Parts II–VII: Core Processes, Assessments, and Interventions
The remaining sections guide the student through the occupational therapy process, spanning evaluation, documentation, and specific assessments for motor control, range of motion, muscle strength, and sensory/cognitive deficits. It details intervention principles—including a new chapter on feeding and eating—and explores functional performance across ADLs, assistive technology, mobility, work, and leisure. Advanced intervention strategies cover orthotics, neurotherapeutic approaches, and specific clinical applications such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. [1]
Key Highlights New to this Edition:
- Feeding & Eating: A completely new chapter covering intervention principles for eating and swallowing.
- OT Technology & Prosthetics: Expanded information regarding modern assistive technologies and prosthetics.
- Streamlined Chapters: Combined and reorganized text designed to align tightly with the current OTPF guidelines. [1, 2, 3]
