APTA Resources: PT NOW

PTNow Clinical Summaries: These clinical summaries provide evidence on managing patient diagnoses. They include

an overview of the condition, classification, screening, examination, diagnosis and prognosis, intervention, medical management, and case study examples. Applying this evidence-based knowledge helps to better understand the diagnosis and apply an optimal plan of care.

PTNow Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs): CPGs are based on systematic review of current evidence and they include information that is published within 5 years by APTA sections or other health care associations. PTNow can assist students in clinical decision-making by providing resources that can be narrowed down by factors, such as health condition and age. CPGs do not speed up the process of mastering this skill, but they aid in making it easier to accomplish by referencing evidence-based sources that can be applied to most diagnoses.

PTNow Tests and Measures: The tests and measures section can be as general or specific as you would like. You can narrow your search by health condition, practice area, ICF domain, G-code, and body region. Each test includes information on administration, statistical interpretation, or videos showing what the test should look like. As a student, it is good to know that there are resources to help choose valid and reliable measures for specific patient diagnoses.

PTNow full-text ArticleSearch and Cochrane Systematic Reviews: Physical therapy school allows the student to access almost any informative database, but unfortunately this convenience will end shortly after the educational program. Luckily, the ArticleSearch section and systematic reviews provided in PTNow will allow users to stay up to date with the newest research to provide patients with the most accurate plan of care.

Rehabilitation Reference Center (RRC): RRC is a point-of-care resource allowing us as physical therapists to provide the best plan of care to our patients. What's great about this tool is that it's updated daily with the latest systematic identification, evaluation, and consolidation of practice-changing information.
