I am currently studying for the GCS exam and was using this a secondary read along with the FOCUS material. I stopped reading this as it is very basic information and is not much of an informative read with anything out of the ordinary or ground breaking. I have actually found the Geriatric Rehabilitation Manual, 2e a lot more helpful and informative. This book is just so-so.
I have worked as a PT for over 30 years. This is a great general knowledge book for geriatrics, written in plain English. I recommend it.
The only book I used to prepare for the GCS (did not have the luxury of time to read another). It's quite comprehensive.
This a very comprehensive review of general physical therapy rehabilitation considerations as well as specifics that need to be considered when treating elders in ant practice setting
The book is a solid textbook for the geriatric population and helped in my graduate class on the subject. The book arrived in a timely fashion and was in great condition.
