Six years have elapsed since the fourth edition of DeLisa’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: Principles and Practice was published. The newest edition continues to uphold the tradition of a solid fundamental text for readers dedicated to physical medicine and rehabilitation. A notable change with this edition is the naming of Walter Frontera as the new editor in chief, with Joel DeLisa now emeritus editor.
The chapters are written by established leaders in their respective subspecialities. The chapters are concise and appropriately edited for seamless reading between topics. The text examines scientific as well as clinical aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Clinical medicine is analyzed, from management methods to prevention and treatment of major and secondary complications.
Thoroughly updated and now in full color, DeLisa's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is the "gold standard" in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. It is the most modern and comprehensive book in the field. It can serve as both an introductory book for residents and a comprehensive reference book for practitioners. One volume covers physical medicine, the other rehabilitation medicine. Physical medicine covers principles of diagnosis and management, therapeutic approaches, and the management of specific conditions. Rehabilitation medicine covers the evaluation of the rehab patient, managing the rehab patient, and rehabilitation strategies and interventions. This edition has eight new chapters including evidence-based rehabilitation; robotic therapies; emerging technologies and interventions; and neural repair and plasticity.
