The book is now considered a standard work in the German-speaking world for the concise presentation of the diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative concepts of rehabilitation medicine and their interdisciplinary aspects. Another focus is on functional scores, the assessment of quality of life, and instrumental diagnostics. This fourth edition is also the first to be published after the untimely death of Professor Dr. Veronika Fialka-Moser. It is based on the presentations of previous editions, with updates made to incorporate contemporary aspects and directions in the field. The compendium is aimed at physicians specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. With its clear, learner-friendly didactics, the book is also ideal for medical students and trainee physiotherapists.
