Full Description
Covering the essential aspects of the practice of adult PM&R, Tan's Practical Manual of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition, provides up-to-date, authoritative information in a quick-reference, outline format. Physiatrist, physical therapist, researcher, and educator Dr. Jackson C.
