Learn how to apply the new principles for
evaluation of musculoskeletal permanent
impairments using the Guides Sixth Impairment
Training Workbook series, developed by the
American Medical Association (AMA). Based on the
sixth edition of the Guides to the Evaluation of
Permanent Impairment (Guides Sixth), these new,
resourceful training workbooks focus on the
musculoskeletal systems, including the spine,
the lower extremity, the upper extremity, and
pain, neurology, and mental disorders. Each
workbook contains between 85 and 135
content-based questions with rationales
explaining the correct answer. Also included is
a 50-question self-test to assess your improved
understanding of the Guides Sixth methodology
and its application.
This activity has been approved for AMA PRA
Category 1 Credit

Sample - Spine
Let impairment and training experts walk you
through new concepts found in this edition and
help you:
Understand the new diagnosis-based impairment
(DBI) rating and how it differs from the prior
editions' use of the diagnosis-related estimate
(DRE) and/or range of motion methods as the
primary choice for evaluating musculoskeletal
conditions or illness
Become familiar with new criteria for
differentiators and how objective tests are
emphasized in the clinical assessment
Take into account individual variation and
treatment effects in assessing each
musculoskeletal system
Delivered in an easy-to-use format and geared
toward a multi-disciplinary audience, each
workbook contains tips and strategies to assist
adjusters, physicians and lawyers with the
application of the new concepts presented in
Guides Sixth. Emphasis is placed on correctly
applying the new grid construct and determining
impairment with consideration to physical
examination, functional history and clinical
studies. Each module illustrates key differences
between Guides Sixth and prior editions,
allowing you to easily recognize changes as you
start using the sixth edition in your assessment
practices. Softbound, 8½" x 11", 90 pages
