This review is from: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 3e (Braddom, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) (Hardcover)

This 3rd edition, again never failes to deliver.

Has become a truly established classic Text reference of PM&R, now with stunning aesthetic improvements in line with the High tech age. Lots of Color Pictures etc. With the e-edition now, makes this reference even more readily available to people on the move with a computer, essentially does away a 'baby' edition of such a text (like the 2nd edition).

Strongly recommended to anyone interested looking up topics in PM&R.

Kudos to Prof Braddom and his Team.

This review is from: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: Expert Consult- Online and Print, 4e (Expert Consult Title: Online + Print) (Hardcover)

This is a good general overview of the issues in Rehab Med. The pictures and online access increase the appeal.
Just reading through, for example, the chapter on spinal cord injury, I found several points which are very simply-made without due complexity. For those studying for essay-type questions rather than MCQ, this would only be a starting-off text rather than definitive.
