Learn how to apply the new principles for evaluation of musculoskeletal permanent impairments using the Guides Sixth Impairment Training Workbook series, developed by the American Medical Association (AMA). Based on the sixth edition of the Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (Guides Sixth),
these three new, resourceful training workbooks cover the
musculoskeletal systems, including the spine, the lower extremity and
the upper extremity. Each workbook contains more than 125 content-based
questions with rationales explaining the correct answer. Also included
is a 25-question self-test to assess your improved understanding of the
Guides Sixth methodology and its application. Let impairment
and training experts walk you through new concepts found in this
edition and help you:
Understand the
new diagnosis-based impairment (DBI) rating and how it differs from the
prior editions' use of the diagnosis-related estimate (DRE) and/or
range of motion methods as the primary choice for evaluating
musculoskeletal conditions or illness Become familiar with new criteria for differentiators and how objective tests are emphasized in the clinical assessment
Take into account individual variation and treatment effects in assessing each musculoskeletal system
