Christopher SahlerReview QuoteFrom the book reviews:“This pocket guide was created for residents doing clinical placements in rehabilitation medicine. Other health care professionals, such as occupational therapists, physical therapists, and nurses doing placements in rehabilitation medicine, will find this book useful as a reference guide. … I would recommend this book to occupational therapy students and new graduates as a reference guide.” (Rekha Chhatre, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 81 (4), October, 2014)“The purpose is to provide a single, easily transportable, concise guide that contains information needed by those who work on a rehabilitation unit. … this is a useful book for physiatry residents who wish to quickly skim or reference a topic that comes up in their inpatient rotation or outpatient clinic. It serves the intended purpose -- it helps readers focus on the basics of rehabilitation medicine.” (Olivia Park, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2013)Designed in a concise, easy-to-read style for a wide variety of medical occupations, the Rehab Clinical Pocket Guide is the ideal, handy reference for rehabilitation professionals and other health providers.
