With brand new expert editors and authors, this third edition of the Oxford Handbook of Rehabilitation Medicine is fully updated and expanded in scope to provide concise, evidence-based information on rehabilitation aspects in long-term medical conditions affecting adults. Covering both clinical approaches to managing common symptoms and management in the context of specific conditions, it provides a comprehensive and holistic view of the specialty.
Written to capture the WHO ICF biopsychosocial model for health conditions, the Handbook recognises that rehabilitation is more than merely the treatment of symptoms, but a dynamic discipline that works with mobility, cognition, sex, relationships, and work. With fourteen new chapters on specific conditions covering the spectrum of rehabilitation medicine, this Handbook has been designed as an invaluable resource for all members of the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team.
