Social Security Disability Medical Test Handbook

Social Security Disability Medical Test Handbook contains a description of hundreds of medical tests each including Test Name, Other Names, General Information, Contraindications, Technique, Interpretation, Complications, Examples, and more. Extensive links make it easy to move within the book and find information. Although this book can be used alone as a fast source of medical test information, each test has links to relevant Social Security Administration (SSA) medical disability regulations (Listing of Impairments) making it useful to all those working in this vast field. The book may be of interest to those members of the general public who simply want easily accessible medical test information, those applying for Social Security disability, doctors working for SSA, SSA disability examiners, attorneys or others representing claimants before the SSA, attorneys working for the SSA, SSA administrative law judges, federal judges deciding disability claims, public and law libraries, and disability advocacy organizations. Appendices include common medical test values, medical abbreviations, treadmill stress test protocols, and SSA's Listing of Impairments linked to specific relevant tests. In addition, an extensive Index contains links for quick access to any test whose name is known.
