1980s CONTENT NOW AVAILABLE

PTJ is now posting PDFs and abstracts of articles, editorials, and letters to the editor from volumes 60 to 69 (1980–1989) online at http://www.ptjournal.org/archive/, starting with January to March 1980. This project will be completed in late 2008, with issues added as they are finalized.

PTJ thanks the family of Jules Rothstein, PT, PhD, FAPTA, the University of Pittsburgh Department of Physical Therapy (Anthony Delitto, PT, PhD, FAPTA, chair), Charles Ciccone, PT, PhD, FAPTA, and David Scalzitti, PT, PhD, for donating copies of PTJ to create the PDFs.

Note: The content from the 1980s will not be fully indexed and searchable until all issues from this decade have been posted in late 2008.

THE PATIENT/FAMILY POINT OF VIEW

Research reports provide data on patient outcomes, and case reports describe interventions and patient responses; but readers don't often have the opportunity to hear what patients themselves have to say about their experiences. PTJ offers readers the patient or family point of view as companion supplements to articles:

“Getting Back in the Game” was written by the patient (now 17 years old) who was the focus of the case report by Cernak and colleagues (January 2008).
A mother’s perspective on her son’s rehabilitation, which is described in Behrman and colleagues’ research report “Locomotor Training Restores Walking in a Nonambulatory Child With Chronic, Severe, Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.”

PT 2008 ABSTRACTS NOW AVAILABLE

Abstracts of platform and poster presentations at PT 2008 in San Antonio, Texas, June 11-14, 2008, are now available online on the Annual Conference Abstracts page. Abstracts from previous annual conferences can also be found there.
