Summary

This excellent resource serves as a guide to the specific tests used in orthopedic physical assessment, with a basic introduction, quick-reference indexes to the different tests, and a compilation of tests grouped by body region. Each testing procedure opens to a two-page spread so that all information is within easy reach. The updated second edition features more than twice as many high-quality illustrations, more information on disease assessment, and "Orthopedic Gamuts" -- tables of condensed information that serve as quick-reference tools. Chapters also include essential anatomy, motion assessment, muscle function, and imaging elements.
