Over 10% of the population of the United States is disabled from chronic disease, the vast majority as the result of disorders of the cardiovascular, neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems. This introduction to the management of chronic illness is based on a course given at the University of Washington School of Medicine. It examines the factors related to evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of these patients and is essential reading for all medical students and rehabilitation professionals. (20100503)
