7Foreword
Ultimate outcome of most of disease processes depend on how correct is management of disease and its follow-up, after the disease. This includes apart from correct medicines, proper physiotherapy treatment during the disease process and postdisease rehabilitation. In many conditions like fractures and joint diseases, postacute care is more important than actual treatment. Physiotherapy is also useful in those chronic conditions which have long-lasting effects on functional capacity of individuals like postmeningitis, stroke and chronic diseases of lung and majority of the autoimmune diseases. Quality of life depends primarily on effective rehabilitation which includes various forms of exercises, electrotherapy, fitness program, mobilization and manipulations. With advancement of the science, patient surviving in various malignancies is increasing. Most of the survivals require various forms of physical therapy interventions, which improve the quality of life-surviving individuals. Conditions associated with congenital birth defects including malformation survival in some cases are only depending on physiotherapy.
Dr Gitesh Amrohit incorporates the most aspects of physiotherapy in the book. This is very useful for undergraduates, postgraduates and physiotherapy professionals. It is equally useful for physicians, pediatricians, surgeons, orthopedicians, nurses and paramedical staff. Practical hints from various chapters will help in improving patients’ quality of life.

9Preface
It gives me immense pleasure to present my first edition of Practical Physiotherapy Prescriber to all the physiotherapy students and professionals.
The physiotherapy is a growing branch and became an integral part of modern medical science. Physiotherapy plays an important role in preventing, treating and postoperatively treating in various medical and surgical conditions.
There are lots of books on physiotherapy available in the market but for studying physiotherapy management in practical manner was a great problem, especially during clinical postings or practice. Now-a-days, newer physiotherapy concepts being added and obsolete ones are withdrawn. So, all the common medical and surgical conditions treated by the physiotherapist have been included in the book, along with essential of diagnosis as per new concepts. The book is especially written for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of physiotherapy and practitioners.
The main aim of the book was to quick diagnosis and relevant physiotherapy management for various medical and surgical conditions. The used language is very simple and the content written in pointed manner. Advanced physiotherapy management with dosage, duration of exercise therapy and electrotherapy, Do's/Dont's, home advice, orthotic and prosthetic supports should be kept in mind 10while writing the book. I think the book covers various medical and surgical conditions including skin and psychiatric conditions.
Wishing and praying for your bright future and all the success in your life.
Gitesh Amrohit
