I still feel that those people below who feel that this book is the greatest thing since sliced bread are biased and must have some interest in the book. This book does have many contributors.
Here's my frank take on it. If your state requires you to use this book for impairment ratings, you have no choice but to purchasing it. However, be aware that this book is extremely inconsistent and you will certainly have to attend some type of seminars or educational sessions in order to use it effectively.
This book is actually a step backward from previous editions. Each region of the body uses different ratings system and the language is vague at best and in some cases seems to mean opposite of it's intention.
This book will not be able to prepare you for impairment rating. It may only be used as reference after learning the system from someone who has used it.
This book must have gained authority from good lobby rather than quality contents.
By Sports Doc
Several chapters, such as the one on the spine, lower extremities, skin, and pulmonary system are, indeed, quite well-written and fairly easy to follow.
The chapter on upper extremities, however, is simply in deplorable shape.
Moreover, the AMA guides did not do a good job of explaining when it is appropriate to use a certain method and when it is not. in many cases, the evaluator is not sure which method to use, even after a careful reading of the guides.
The overarching philosophy of the Guides is not explained as well as it should be.
All in all, however, a vast improvement over the much more difficult to use fourth edition.
needless to say, a physician using this book needs both an instructor and an appropriate patient population to refine his/her skills as a disability evaluator.
