Editorial Review: Product Description: This is a standard in quality evaluations, and is the approved uniform way to evaluate, measure and report impairment. The material in the fifth edition is scientifically and consensus based, and is prepared by society experts. All body systems are covered with significant improvements in major chapters including cardiology, respiratory, muscular-skeletal, and skin. Also covers new conditions including HIV and latex allergy. Mandated or recommended in over 40 states of the US, and in Canada and Australia. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Guides to the evaluation of Permanent ImpairmentThis book is jam packed and jelly shut with powerful information for the sharp expert who simply needs to just fine tune his or her skills. This is also a must for every primary caregivers personal library. Rating:  - better, but could still use improvementSeveral chapters, such as the one on the spine, lower extremities, skin, and pulmonary system are, indeed, quite well-written and fairly easy to follow. The chapter on upper extremities, however, is simply in deplorable shape. Moreover, the AMA guides did not do a good job of explaining when it is appropriate to use a certain method and when it is not. in many cases, the evaluator is not sure which method to use, even after a careful reading of the guides.

Rating: - AMA GuidesIt's the standard. Can't get around it. Examples are very good. Read through the examples for a thorough understanding and you'll be fine. Rating: - Business purchaseI ordered these for independent adjusters who work for my firm, and they find them indispensable. Because I am not an adjuster, I am unable to evaluate them.
