Recognizing and Reporting Red Flags for the Physical Therapist Assistant helps PTA students develop skills to recognize signs and symptoms that can compromise patient care. It is the first text to present a consistent, three-step model for monitoring patients for red flags relating to neuromuscular and musculoskeletal problems, medical diseases, side effects of medications, and other co-morbidities that may be unknown to the PT. Combining the insights of a physical therapist and a physical therapist assistant, this resource is unmatched in providing clear guidelines for finding and documenting red flags.
