Each chapter is followed by a "Putting It Into Practice" exercise, which gives the reader an opportunity to apply the information in their educational or clinical practice setting. The information presented is current and represents the evolution of the physical therapy profession over the past 35 years, since the development of the physical therapist assistant role. The PTA Handbook: Keys to Success in School and Career is a necessary text for all students wanting to minimize their questions and maximize their potential.
