Learn how to accurately evaluate permanent impairment of the lower extremities (limbs), based on the new principles of the Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, sixth edition. 
The lower extremity is divided into three regions (distal to proximal): 
-Foot and ankle: from the mid shaft of the tibia to the tips of the toes -Knee: from the mid shaft of the femur to the mid shaft of the tibia -Hip: from the articular cartilage of the acetabulum to the mid shaft of the femur 
This resourceful training workbook is geared toward a multi-disciplinary audience and illustrates key differences between Guides Sixth and prior editions. It also includes more than 125 content-based questions with a rationale for each correct answer and a 25-question assessment test so users can assess their understanding of the Guides Sixth methodology and its application. 
Emphasis is placed on correctly applying the new grid construct and determining impairment with consideration to physical examination, functional history and clinical studies.
