This review is from: Manual of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1e (Paperback)

This book is useful in several ways. As a student rotating in PM&R it is unlikely that you will spend >$100 for a text. Also it is impossible to really read a significant amount of the larger texts out there in the course of a 4 week rotation. the review book allows students to focus their reading and hit the main points. Reading here will allow for greater learning on the unit.

The other great use for this text is for board review. The outline style allows for reference while preparing for boards. This text is clearly not intended to become a prumary source for residents, but is extremely useful as a starting point early in residency or as a tool for board review.

The layout is simple. The selection of topics for chapters makes it easy to read a chapter or two before starting a rotation or for reading before and after braddom or delisa chapter study.

One shortcoming is the lack of EMG and interventional maneuvers covered by this text. The info is particularly skimpy in these areas. The areas that ARE covered are outstanding.
