Foreword

Medical practitioners involved in the treatment of diseases, disorders,

and injuries of the musculoskeletal system will appreciate the very im-

portant role of rehabilitation. Following the publication of two books

Orthopedic Principles – A Resident’s Guide and Orthopedic Traumatology

– A Resident’s Guide , Dr. Ip has expended further time and effort to pro-

duce a third book, which contains a comprehensive account of orthopae-

dic rehabilitation. The material is easy to grasp with succinct points.

There are 19 chapters, arranged in a logical sequence. The first chap-

ter gives a holistic view of what the rehabilitation process should include

and emphasises that the unique feature of a rehabilitation service is

thinking about a patient and his problems, not simply doing something

to the patient, and the focus should be on trying to help each patient

achieve his own goals.

Chapters 2 to 8 are about the rehabilitation tools for assessing, inves-

tigating and treating patients. Chapters 9 to 17 are about rehabilitation

for specific types of musculoskeletal disorders, each of which has its

own complex problems, requiring practitioners to gain further in-depth

training and experience to give effective treatment.

The format is similar to the previous two books, containing brief, yet

comprehensive, core information on the subject, which can be enhanced

by more detailed literature review if necessary. This unique feature ren-

ders the book very readable.

All three books should be available to residents and staff in any

orthopaedic department. Therapists and nurses treating patients with

musculoskeletal diseases will also find this book useful.
