Book description
Musculoskeletal Examination
is a user-friendly textbook designed for students, physical therapists
and physicians. It is uniquely multidisciplinary in its approach, being
written by a physiatrist, physical therapist and orthopedist. With
tables and boxed features to emphasize and summarize key concepts, and
'sample examination' boxes to highlight and test difficult areas, it is
ideal for teaching introductory courses yet detailed enough for
professional reference within clinical practice. It includes an
easy-to-follow examination process for all the joints and spine, as well
as combining biomechanics with physical examination to enhance
understanding of function.
This third edition includes more and better
anatomy illustrations; over 850 illustrations, x-rays and MRIs are
perfect as a quick reference guide, while the detailed descriptions
and clinically relevant examples of frequently encountered conditions
will help out even the most novice practitioner.
The chapter on basic science, the brief overview of anatomy, and the
introductory remarks at the start of each chapter that provide a
biomechanical overview of the region featured, all ensure
Musculoskeletal Examination will help you gain the
understanding necessary to make a correct diagnosis and determine a
successful treatment plan for your patients.
Musculoskeletal Examination is ideal for physiotherapists,
physiatrists, orthopedists, medical students, practitioners and all
those involved in sports medicine and clinical massage.
