Key benefits
- Find essential test information quickly. Each test follows the same consistent format as the parent text: test name, alternate names, suspected syndrome, concise testing procedure, clinical pearl, and procedure photographs.
- Bring clinical insight to your assessments. Clinical pearls accompany almost every test, sharing the author’s own clinical experience and offering valuable guidance for both students and practitioners.
- Review key diagnostic concepts at a glance. Each test includes a corresponding orthopedic gamut—a concise summary of key points that serves as a diagnostic rubric during patient exams. Nearly 400 gamuts cover anatomy, motion assessment, muscle function, and imaging elements.
- See how assessment maneuvers are performed. Nearly 500 illustrations, including line drawings and photographs, show key test movements, other necessary maneuvers, anatomy, and pathologies. All-new photographs clearly illustrate every assessment test.
- Locate tests without unnecessary searching. A complete inside-cover index lists tests alphabetically and by body system, helping you see which tests are covered and where to find them. The pocket-sized format keeps frequently used assessment and testing information close at hand.
- Build understanding and continue your study. An end-of-book glossary explains key abbreviations, common clinical terms, and notation, while a comprehensive bibliography provides references for further research. Updated assessment content is included in this 2007 edition.
