It includes over 255 illustrations that demonstrate specific injuries and evaluation processes, and provides detailed discussions of topics such as interpreting radiographic studies, cumulative trauma disorders, fitness for duty, functional capacity evaluation, and disability ratings. It also delivers an expanded focus on international disability evaluation testing procedures and delivery systems.
