520	3		_aA comprehensive presentation of technical methods and procedures currently used in the clinical practice of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Authored by 37 leading experts in the USA and elsewhere, the book draws together the most significant advances during the past decade, describing techniques and equipment in sufficient detail to facilitate their application in clinical practice. Details range from a description of new devices for maintaining stability and proper alignment of fractured vertebrae, through advice on dressing techniques for pressure sores, to an illustrated guide covering a range of inventive new prosthetic devices. The book responds to the need for an up-to-date guide to the daily clinical practice of psychiatry, particularly in view of the growing number of disabilities and handicaps attributed to accidents, acts of violence, and the increasing population of the elderly. The objective is to give generalists and specialists access to the best and newest knowledge, and thus make it easier for them to reduce handicaps and improve the life of patients with disabilities. Information is presented in 23 chapters, which reflect the major medical problems evaluated and managed by the physiatrist. These include brain injuries and encephalopathies, rheumatic diseases, amputations, spinal cord injuries, decubiti, maintenance during intensive care, rehabilitation and maintenance of the frail elderly, burns, acute and chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, and speech and communication problems. Two chapters offer advice on how to manage the clinical phenomenon frequently referred to as recurrence of poliomyelitis , in which the deterioration associated with aging adds to the impairment resulting from acute polio. Other chapters focus on the management of developmental disabilities, of visual impairments, of sports injuries, and of problems related to sexuality, while chapters covering the uses of electro-diagnosis and sensory evoked potentials offer advice on these promising new diagnostic tools.
