Goodman and Fuller’s Pathology: Implications for the Physical Therapist, 5th edition

By Catherine C. Goodman MBA PT CBP, Kenda S. Fuller PT NCS

Book Review: Pathology for Physical Therapists

Pathology for Physical Therapists is an indispensable resource for anyone in the field of physical therapy. Written by Catherine C. Goodman MBA PT CBP and Kenda S. Fuller PT NCS, this fifth edition continues to provide comprehensive and practical information on various diseases and conditions that physical therapists may encounter in their practice.

The book is organized in a logical manner, allowing easy access to essential information on common illnesses, diseases, adverse drug effects, organ transplantation, laboratory values, and more. The chapters are structured by body system, which further enhances the reader’s ability to quickly find the information they need. Each chapter provides guidelines, precautions, and contraindications for interventions with patients who have musculoskeletal or neuromuscular problems, as well as other medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease.

What sets this book apart is the inclusion of “A Therapist’s Thoughts” sections throughout the text. These personal and clinical insights come from experienced therapists specializing in various areas such as cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, women’s health, lymphedema, and psychological problems. This adds a valuable perspective and helps to create a deeper understanding of the impact of specific conditions on physical therapy interventions.

One of the strengths of this edition is the updated content. More than 100 content experts in pathology and physical therapy have contributed to ensure that the information is current and reflects the latest research findings and changes in the field. The coverage includes information on genomics and regenerative medicine, which are becoming increasingly relevant in physical therapy practice.

The book also explores the role of epigenetics in optimizing exercise-based interventions, a concept referred to as “precision physical therapy.” This section delves into how individual diseases, risk factors, and patient responses to physical therapy interventions can be influenced by epigenetic factors. This is a cutting-edge area of research, and its inclusion in the book reflects the authors’ commitment to providing the most up-to-date information.

Furthermore, the authors have included information on the latest discoveries and findings in the science of quantum physics, mind-body connection, and consciousness-based energy medicine. These emerging fields have the potential to greatly impact the field of physical therapy, and their inclusion in the book demonstrates the authors’ forward-thinking approach.

The book also features a full-color interior design with photos and illustrations that visually reinforce key concepts. This visual approach not only enhances understanding but also makes the reading experience more engaging and enjoyable.

For those who prefer digital formats, the enhanced eBook version is included with the print purchase, allowing students to access all the text, figures, and references on a variety of devices. This convenient feature ensures that the book is accessible anytime, anywhere.

In conclusion, Pathology for Physical Therapists is an essential resource for physical therapists, students, and anyone interested in the field of physical therapy. The comprehensive and up-to-date information, combined with personal insights from experienced therapists, make this book a valuable asset. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this book will serve as a reliable and effective guide to providing the best physical therapy for patients.
