The Pelvic Girdle: An integration of clinical expertise and research, 4th Edition (ORIGINAL PDF from Publisher)

Bring research-informed reasoning into everyday care for lumbopelvic-hip pain and disability. Authored by Diane G. Lee with a major contribution from Linda-Joy Lee, this fourth edition fundamentally revises both presentation and content to give busy clinicians evidence, clinical tools and practical knowledge for effective practice. It connects clinical expertise with research to help you strengthen examination, diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Key benefits

• Build an evidence-based approach: Explore the examination, diagnosis and treatment of the lumbopelvic region, drawing on the research evidence presented in this edition.
• Strengthen clinical reasoning: Use The Integrated Systems Model and the Clinical Puzzle, co-developed by Diane Lee and Linda-Joy Lee, to support hypothesis development and prescriptive treatment.
• Connect research and practice in both directions: Translate scientific knowledge into clinical care, and use insights from practice to evaluate the relevance of research.
• Develop reflective clinical expertise: Explore disciplined, reflective practice to help determine the right intervention at the right time when patients present with varied single or multiple impairments that research alone may not fully address.
• Make techniques easier to follow: Benefit from a clinician-friendly, easy-to-read presentation with highly illustrated descriptions of tests and techniques for practice.
• Learn from internationally recognised expertise: The author team—Diane Lee, Linda-Joy Lee and Andry Vleeming—has international reputations as clinicians and researchers.
