This practical handbook provides a comprehensive written and photographic collection of all physical examination tests including neurological screening tools and conventional tests for all body regions. Diagnostic values are reported for each of the tests, if they exist. The quality of the research behind each test is evaluated using a quality tool (QUADAS) that provides an analysis of the extent to which bias has influenced the diagnostic values. Finally, a summary "Utility" score is provided for each test based on the authors' interpretation of the research and their use of the tests in clinical practice. The reader is provided with a one-stop resource for determining the benefit of an orthopedic physical examination test. Features include: An accompanying CD-ROM provides instructional video of the most common examination tests. Tests are self-contained to provide step-by-step instruction. Full-color photographs and design bring the tests to life.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
Great book
This book gets straight to the point and pours over numerous conditions and what examination or cluster of examination techniques have been proven to test what they are supposed to test. Many of the best evidence based examination tests shown in this book unfortunately are probably hardly ever used. I look forward to using this book from now on.
