"It is a book which embodies a fairly large variety of disorders (including signs and symptoms) and guides the PTAs on well-referenced and safe strategies that may be used in clinical practice. Furthermore, it presents anatomy sections referring to the basic body systems as well as numerous tables and useful appendices which may be quite helpful to the busy PTA during a demanding work schedule. Moreover, it accurately informs the PTA on the behavioral strategies that he or she should successfully identify and discreetly adopt when dealing with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. ... [It includes] an ample collection of abbreviations that are widely used in physiotherapy, may prove particularly useful to non-English or inexperienced clinicians when writing or retrieving a patient’s history report. This book is a well-organized guide for clinicians and could be a useful tool not only for PTAs and PTA students but for the novice physiotherapists and physiotherapy students too."

"I find this book to be a very comprehensive, clinically appropriate resource, that not only will benefit PTA's, but also Physical Therapists ... In reviewing this, I can only say, that I wish this clinical handbook was available when I was in school. Overall, this book will not only benefit the students who use this, but also, their patients."

"Physical therapist assistants as well as physical therapists will appreciate the contribution made by Olga Dreeben, PT, PhD with the publication of her second text, "Physical Therapy Clinical Handbook for PTAs. Olga Dreeben knows and understands what the physical therapist assistant needs to appropriately work as a team member in rehab."
