This review is from: Rehabilitation Medicine: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)

An important book to have available for reference when caring for persons with disabilities. All types of neurologic and musculoskeletal problems are well covered in this comprehensive text.

2.0 out of 5 stars not very practical, July 19, 2003

This review is from: Rehabilitation Medicine: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)

Everyone seems to buy this book as a reflex, but I hardly have used it in the last year I've had it as a PMR resident. It can be helpful sometimes when preparing a brief topical discussion, but it is not specific enough in terms of what should be done clinically. It's so big it's difficult to take it anywhere with you if you need to study for the boards.

4.0 out of 5 stars a lot heavier than braddom, December 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Rehabilitation Medicine: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)

Some excellent chapters in the new text make this a good reference to have handy. Odd but important little topics on vestibular rehab and so forth.
