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.
