Features: This book systematically analyzes and elaborates on forensic medical disability assessment from multiple perspectives, based on the "biology-sociology-psychology" medical model. It explores the causes, mechanisms, patterns of disability formation, and pathological damage of injuries at a deeper and broader level. The book is divided into 32 chapters, covering head and brain injuries and their disability assessment, spinal cord and peripheral nerve injuries and their disability assessment, mental injuries and their disability assessment, head and facial injuries and their disability assessment, spinal injuries and their disability assessment, neck injuries and their disability assessment, chest injuries and their disability assessment, abdominal injuries and their disability assessment, pelvic injuries and their disability assessment, perineal injuries and their disability assessment, limb injuries and their disability assessment, skin injuries and their disability assessment, disability assessment in medical accidents, and disability assessment and personal injury compensation calculation. Many chapters in the book cover aspects not previously addressed in forensic medical works, such as epidemiology of disability, gait analysis, disability assessment of children, body measurement, assessment of assistive devices for disability, and assessment of daily living activities. These expand the scope of forensic medicine. The book also features standardized and unified terminology throughout, as well as exquisite design. The authors include university professors and associate professors with long-term experience in forensic medical teaching and research, as well as experts in traffic accident injury research.
