rehabilitation books!HELP.....

i throw again the ball about suggestions on rehabilitation books:)!
After viewing reviews on specific books on REHABILITATION and INTERVENTION mostly (and less on ASSESSMENT) i would like the opinion of yours about the following texts...
1)Brotzman and Wilk- Clinical orthopaedic rehabilitation, Mosby 2003
2)Brotzman and Wilk- Handbook of orthopaedic rehabilitation, Mosby 2007

P.s. The most important for me is that if anyone owns both books to clarify what the true differences are between them because i couldnt figure it out checking all possible reviews on the web! And of course they are not the SAME book re-published

Any suggestion is welcomed!:D

ooopss i forgot one more book:
3)Cameron and Monroe- Physical Rehabilitation, Saunders 2007.

Now i am done:)

The new features to that second edition of are:

I don't have either personally but we do sell the more recent one's on The Physio Shop at 10% discount.

thanks for your reply ...boss:D but even though u dont own some of these books, could u suggest the first book (CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDIC REHABILITATION) to someone who is treating more often orthopedic patients??? I mean the book by Cameron (PHYSICAL REHABILITATION) is more "generalized" and it might be not so specific in what i am lookin for.....It is though more up-to-date (2007 publication) than the first-mentioned (2003 publication)

thanx again for any correspondence

The both complement each other but that said I would perhaps pick the handbook first and once you have a grasp on the concepts in there then the other title, which has case studies, would be most appropriate as a next addition to your library :)

so in general u recommend the last 2 books(according to the order u gave) which are more up-to-date,right??

Right, you got it. The last two, the handbook first. :)

ok physiobob...thanx a lot!:)
see ya

well there are fresh news...I have sent e-mail to Elsevier publications about the first-mentioned book "CLINICAL ORTHOPEDIC REHABILITATION" by Brotzman and Wilk and i was told that the new edition is planned at March 2011..that means in a year from now...I think its better after all to by the "handbook" and then wait for the fresh copy in 13 months (hope that the world will not have been devasted by any asteroid..:D:eek:)
