The field of physical medicine and rehabilitation is very broad and we all struggle to keep up to date in our field. Nowadays, with residents studying for the Boards examination and more senior physicians having to take the recertification examination, it is very important to have a source to turn to. This "Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America Review Issue" is that source, discussing up-to-date advances made in 13 areas of rehabilitation, including traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, EMG, musculoskeletal rehabilitation and specialized areas such as burn, cancer and cardiac rehabilitation. This will be an ideal source for all involved in our field.
