The 2nd edition of the book "Local Examination in Recovery" meets the growing demand from our younger colleagues, to have an initial guidance in approaching the patient who comes to the specialist Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (MFR) / Recovery, Physical Medicine and Balneology (RMFB).
I am only now back with the reprint because this book has been corrected, enriched with practical elements, including joint and muscle balance - a very important element in our specialty, finally having a double number of pages compared to the first edition.
