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. Tan, along with new co-author Dr. Michelle Stern, focuses on in- and out-patient conditions you're most likely to see in practice, offering practical guidance on clinical evaluation, diagnostic testing, differential diagnoses, and management tools. This must-have manual is an essential tool for physiatrists, PM&R residents and subspecialists, orthopedic surgeons, pain medicine specialists, neurologists, physical and occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, and other health professionals-anyone who needs to master the management of these common conditions for optimal patient care.
Reflects the most recent clinical practice guidelines and evidence-based medicine for the management of acute and chronic pain, spasticity, neurogenic bowel and lower urinary tract dysfunctions, venous thromboembolism, cardiovascular and chronic lower respiratory problems, and other basic PM&R problems
Uses a unique and comprehensive outline format with numerous acronym mnemonics to facilitate understanding of each topic and their practical application
Features new, updated, and expanded tables, boxes, algorithms, and figures
Includes fully expanded and updated chapters on joint and soft tissue injections and viscosupplementations; trigger point injections; therapeutic modalities and exercises; orthotics, prosthetics, gait aids, and robotics; wheelchairs; pharmacologic agents; neurogenic communication disorders; dysphagia; sexuality dysfunctions; immobility and hospital-associated deconditioning; pressure injuries, chronic wounds, and burns; work-related musculoskeletal conditions, and much more
Covers the latest diagnostic tests and functional assessment instruments, including the Continuity Assessment Record and Evaluation (CARE) scale
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
