Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy

Welcome to the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy, the new, peer-reviewed journal of the Acute Care Section-APTA. As the Section promotes evidence-based practice and the literature specific to acute care physical therapy practice grows, we are transitioning our tried and true publication, Acute Care Perspectives, into a fully peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy. The launch of JACPT will begin with the Spring 2010 issue.
