Physical Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses, 2nd Edition připravuje se

A must-own guide for veterinary professionals specializing in physical rehab
Physical rehabilitation is a vital aspect of veterinary medicine. A successful program of rehabilitation is one of the most important determinants of long-term patient outcomes after surgery or serious illness, and veterinary patients are no exception. Veterinary technicians and nurses specializing in physical rehabilitation therefore constitute a potentially critical component of any veterinary practice and/or care team.
Physical Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses provides a clear, accessible overview of this subject for prospective veterinary rehabilitation professionals. Brimming with insights stemming from both research and practical experience, and now updated to reflect a wave of new research since the first edition, this book promises to equip readers with the knowledge required to make themselves indispensable in veterinary practice.
Readers of the second edition of Physical Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses will also find:
Practical tips and tricks connected to the role of a technician on a rehabilitation team
New or updated coverage of subjects including canine fitness, shockwave protocols, underwater treadmill exercises, and many more
Guidance ideal for training programs and certifications from the most important institutes and technician schools
Physical Rehabilitation for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is ideal as an introduction for prospective technicians and nurses, as well as a reference handbook for practicing veterinary technicians and nurses.
