In Motion with Christ is a 52 entry devotional book that is centered on relating the world of physical therapy and rehabilitation to our walks with Jesus Christ. I believe that God can been seen and understood in everything we do or experience! This devotional is the culmination of 3 years of physical therapy school during which God revealed lessons to better love and understand him, through these concepts of rehabilitation and the human body. Our bodies are amazingly created by a God who has become increasingly fascinating and mysterious the more I learn. In the rehabilitation world, health care staff and patients are in a unique position to be able to see and interact with these amazing concepts of the human body. Whether you are a physical therapy clinician, student, or patient this devotional is for you! My prayer is that this book will challenge the way clinicians practice, students learn, and patients recover, all together changing the way you live your life, bringing you into a closer, more intentional relationship with Jesus. God bless!

Aimed at occupational therapy practitioners, this practical and comprehensive manual demonstrates how different assessment tools can be used to evaluate the range of motion, and strength of clients, during physical rehabilitation. The book covers the key areas of evaluation that therapists need to understand, including activity analysis, clinical observation, active range of motion, gross motor testing, goniometry, and isolated muscle testing. Reconfigured to match the clinical reasoning process, this new edition has also been reorganized by region and by joint motion to make it more user-friendly, mirroring the process by which an evaluation is conducted in practice. Also included are various appendices to support the transition to practice, as well as an "At a Glance" version of the manual itself. This is an essential manual for both occupational therapy practitioners and students in training.

Clinical Pathways, an exciting first edition, helps students learn how to proficiently conduct range of motion (ROM) and manual muscle (MMT) assessment for the main joint structures of the body. Focusing heavily on clinical application, the text also provides a novel, OT-focused “Clinical Pathways of Assessment” model that connects physical assessment with a clinical decision-making process. This model helps students develop the skills to effectively evaluate a client through an occupational profile and performance. Client-centered outcome measures are used to assess the client’s functional ability in the performance of their daily occupations. Ultimately, using this framework will help to prepare for the process of designing and modifying the treatment plan to achieve optimum results.
