44 reviews
M.D. Daniel J. Brugioni, Jeff Falkel Ph.D. P.T.

Hunter House, 2004

Total Knee Replacement and Rehabilitation
This book was given to me as a gift before my first knee replacement. I have given and recommended it to several who are having total knee replacement. Read it in little bites and do what is recommended. I since have had the second knee replacement and it was so easy. Great for family memebers to read and understand exactly what is being done and how to help the patient.

DogTown: Tales of Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Redemption

34 reviews
Stefan Bechtel

National Geographic, 2009

Life Affirming Stories of Healing
Dogtown documents tales of dogs placed at Best Friends Animal Society, a no kill shelter in Utah. The stories in the book are moving and reflect what most dog lovers already know about canines - each has a story, a personality and all are worthy of our care and respect. Best Friends is often the only stop for imperfect dogs, either through age, disease, victims of natural disasters, puppy mills ...

Neuroscience: Fundamentals for Rehabilitation

5 reviews
Laurie Lundy-Ekman PhD PT

Saunders, 2007

A good general reference
Laurie Lundy-Ekman's book was the textbook in my recent upper division neuroanatomy course and offered a good base reference for the course. The author mentions neurological problems relevant to the brain area discussed in that chapter, which is helpful for a better understanding. Its a great reference book to keep on the shelf and its smaller size makes it more handy than other larger neurology ...

Rehabilitation of the Spine: A Practitioner's Manual

15 reviews
Craig Liebenson

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Perspective
As a neurosurgical resident, the care of the spine patient can be summed up as: "can I cut it out." For many patients, this is helpful. For many others, sadly, my knife cannot help - most of these patients are left without a diagnosis, and more importantly without an explanation for why they are having the troubles they are having. This book clearly and comprehensively covers the topic of ...

Evidence-Based Rehabilitation: A Guide to Practice

1 review
Mary C. Law PhD OT(C)PhD OT Reg.(On, Joy MacDermid PhD

Slack Incorporated, 2007

Not exactly a Guide to Practice
This book is very well written and can be very educational, however you should realize what it is, and what it is not. It is predominantly about research: how to read it, how to incorporate the findings, how to participate in it, how to conduct it. This has a very high degree of theory and very little practice. I found a section on how to search online for medical and allied health articles ...

ALL YOU SHOULD NEED FOR PMR RECERTIFICATION
i've been in private practice for 10years, but have been out of PMR practice for about 8 years. i used this text exclusively for the recertification boards and passed with flying colors. if your primary goal is to pass the recertification board, this is ALL YOU NEED. secondarily, i would think it is a nice quick referrence for everyday pmr topics.

Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

11 reviews
S. Brent Brotzman MD, Kevin E. Wilk PT DPT

Mosby, 2003

Excellent
I am a physiatrist specialized in musculoskeletal pain from Lima, Peru, and I can say that this book is a wonderful review of rehabilitatión in orthopaedic surgery. It has plenty of protocols very useful as guides of our treatments. Of course each patient is different and each pathology has its unique features, but after a careful medical evaluation one can fit the protocol for every individual ...

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Secrets

1 review

Mosby, 2007

Great Resource, comfortable format
The question and answer format of this text is a familiar theme in medical training, and carries over very well into this written format. The questions are "right on" as to what is really important. I review it regularly.

Geriatric Rehabilitation: A Clinical Approach (3rd Edition)

1 review
Carole B. Lewis, Jennifer Bottomley

Prentice Hall, 2007

Not much substance
Very, very little actual substance to this book. For example the section on postural changes in the elderly is less than 1/3 of a page long, lists only what they are - not why they occur, and the reference for the list is back to a book that C. Lewis wrote herself. Section on functional assessment of the elderly only has one assessment tool example. While I certainly would not recommend the ...

Stroke Rehabilitation: A Function-Based Approach

5 reviews
Glen Gillen EdD OTR FAOTA, Ann Burkhardt MA OTD OTR/L BCN FAOTA

Mosby, 2004

A valuable text
As a grad student, I'm often scrutinizing the prices and contents of my textbooks. This text approaches the occurrence of stroke from a rehabilitative standpoint. The etiology and functional sequelae are given as a requisite background, but the main focus is on treatment planning and intervention. The authors cite the latest literature in research regarding contemporary treatment approaches, as ...
