Logically organized with comprehensive coverage, this newly revised
third edition prepares you to choose the right orthopedic tests,
accurately assess any patient, and arrive at a clear diagnosis.
Trusted for both its depth of coverage and its accessible, accurate
information, it features gamuts, clinical pearls, and cross-reference
tables for quick and easy reference. Now in brilliant full color, with
all new photos of every test, it’s even more visually appealing, and
illustrates common conditions and procedural tests more effectively
than ever before. This edition offers a fresh look at testing for
orthopedic conditions, with detailed text that explains the key moves
of each test, its alternate names, and the appropriate reporting
statement. Extensive cross-referencing ensures that you can easily
find the right test for efficient and effective practice, and protocol
charts guide you through the examination process step by step.
* Chapters are logically organized by region, and tests within each
chapter are arranged alphabetically, so you can find the information
you need in seconds!
* Each test begins with a brief discussion of basic anatomy, then
moves into a description of the actual procedure and ends with
next-step directives.
* Critical Thinking questions at the end of each chapter help you
apply what you’ve learned to clinical practice.
* Orthopedic Gamuts provide summaries of key points in a concise list
– numerous gamuts within each chapter help you master material
quickly and easily.
* Clinical Pearls share the author’s knowledge gained through years
of clinical experience, helping you avoid common misdiagnoses.
* Cross-reference tables offer at-a-glance guidance on which tests
should be used to diagnose particular diseases, for maximum accuracy
and efficiency in practice.
* Each chapter begins with an index of tests for easy reference, and
axioms that remind you of elemental information, such as how painful
certain maneuvers may be or the extent of some body parts’ range.
* Contains a chapter on malingering (non-organically-based
complaints), helping you investigate and determine the root cause of
complaint, whether due to injury, for psychological reasons, or an
attempt to feign injury for various purposes, such as for improper
receipt of worker’s compensation.
* Companion DVD contains video footage of Dr. Evans performing and
explaining each assessment test in the book.
* Full-color photographs demonstrate how to perform 237 orthopedic
tests!
