The field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation focuses on the restoration of health and
function and reintegration of the patient into the community. The goal of DeLisa’s Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation: Principles and Practice is to organize, summarize, discuss, and
make available knowledge in the field to assist the developing or established practitioner in
these endeavors. This sixth edition responds to the dramatic increase in information and
knowledge in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation since the publication of the
fifth edition. This edition also introduces a major reorganization of chapters and a
classification of the chapters in new sections.
The content of this book has been extensively revised and expanded. There are 5 newchapters and over 20 major revisions in this edition. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive,
thorough, evidence-based, and multidisciplinary discussion covering the depth and breadth of
the science of physical medicine and rehabilitation and the evidence that supports current
best practice. Chapters cover the scientific fundamentals of our field as well as the state-ofthe-
art clinical interventions used in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with a wide
variety of diseases and disabilities. Authors for each chapter were chosen for their experience
and expertise in their given topic. This text reflects the efforts of over two hundred
contributing authors representing all parts of the world.
We hope this sixth edition of DeLisa’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: Principles
and Practice contributes significantly to the advancement of the field. As an essential
resource for the training and continuing education of medical rehabilitation professionals,
this text will help ensure that the care they provide to people with disabling conditions is of
the highest quality, resulting in improvement in their health, function, and quality of life.
