_Orthopedic Clinical Examination With Web Resource_ provides readers
with fundamental knowledge for developing proficiency at performing
systematic orthopedic evaluations. Michael P. Reiman, who is
internationally respected for his teaching, clinical practice, and
research focused on orthopedic assessment and treatment methods,
presents an evidence-based guide on the examination process for
various parts of the body.
The text takes a structured approach, moving from broad to focused,
that guides clinicians in examining each client and condition. The
text presents specific components of the examination in the same
sequence, ensuring repetition and improved consistency in learning.
Screenings are used early in the examination sequence not only to
determine the appropriateness of performing an orthopedic examination
but also to rule out other potential pain generators and thereby
narrow the focus of the examination.
_Orthopedic Clinical Examination_ emphasizes evidence-based practice
and therefore focuses on tests that are clinically relevant, providing
students and clinicians with the most appropriate testing options
rather than listing tests with no regard for their clinical value.
Both treatment-based and pathological-based diagnostic styles are
covered in detail so that readers will gain a thorough understanding
of both approaches and be able to implement them separately or in
tandem. In addition to musculoskeletal testing, the text provides
information on including subjective history, observation, diagnostic
imaging, systems and neurological screening, and performance-based
measures in each examination.
_Orthopedic Clinical Examination_ includes learning tools that enhance
comprehension and engagement:
• Full-color photographs and illustrations demonstrate anatomy,
patient conditions, and clinician positioning to serve as a visual
reference and ensure proper testing techniques.
• A library of 50 videos, found in the web resource, provides
students with visual demonstrations of assessments and treatments.
• Color-coding graphics throughout chapters help readers quickly
discern whether evidence supporting the reported finding is ideal,
good, or less than good.
• Overviews of common orthopedic conditions for each body region are
in the 12 applied chapters.
• Twenty-four case studies guide users in the proper questions to
ask and steps to take in conducting examinations.
• Links to abstracts of articles provide additional clinical
learning scenarios.
With _Orthopedic Clinical Examination_, current and future clinicians
will gain the knowledge and confidence they need in performing
examinations to provide optimal patient care.
