The Oxford Handbook of Rehabilitation Medicine is designed to provide concise information on rehabilitation aspects of care for adults with long- term medical conditions. The second edition was published in 2009, and since then, there have been advances in the management of medical conditions and new rehabilitation approaches and technologies have emerged. New guidelines and treatment protocols have been agreed based on emerging evidence and consensus. An updated edition of the handbook was therefore much needed to cover all these aspects. Rehabilitation medicine is an expanding medical specialty, and worldwide, there is a wide scope of practice in the specialty, particularly in the fields of pain, musculoskeletal medicine, trauma, cancer, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and rehabilitation technology. We have made a sincere effort to include all the relevant areas by adding 14 new chapters in this new edition. Colour pictures, diagrams, and management flowcharts/ algorithms have been introduced to make the information easily accessible. The handbook luckily manages to retain its pocket size in spite of our enthusiasm to cover everything new and novel in rehabilitation. The book has two sections: Section 1 on common clinical approaches and Section 2 on condition- specific approaches. The clinical approach section outlines the management of common symptoms encountered in rehabilitation settings. The subsequent section on specific conditions provides information that will enable the reader to put the symptoms in context with the condition and provide direct management in a comprehensive and holistic manner. Every chapter has list of further reading resources that includes journal articles, textbooks, and online material. This handbook, although aimed at medical doctors, will prove useful to other members of the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, psychologists, speech and language therapists, dieticians, support workers, and other allied healthcare professionals. The handbook will also appeal to doctors in the related specialties such as neurology, orthopaedics and trauma, palliative medicine, geriatrics, and pain medicine. The new editorial team have enjoyed bringing together British and Australian perspectives on various aspects of rehabilitation and it is hard to believe we never had any disagreement during the years of preparing this new edition. The four of us have worked extremely hard in ensuring that every chapter is reviewed meticulously by each of us and meets the standards we had set for this handbook. We hope our readers find the new edition up to date and useful in their everyday practice of improving the lives of individuals with long- term conditions.
