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. The text is organized into five parts and is
structured such that readers will first acquire requisite knowledge
about anatomy and the examination process before advancing to
acquiring specific examination skills. Part I presents information
about the musculoskeletal and nervous systems as well as tissue
behavior and healing. Part II introduces the principles of the
examination sequence. Parts III and IV present the region-specific
examination sequence for evaluating clients, including specifics on
analyzing the head, spine, and extremities. Each chapter in these
two parts covers the anatomy of the region, various types of
injuries that occur, specific tests and measures that can be used,
and cross-references to specific case studies for further review.
Part V highlights additional considerations that may be necessary
for special populations during the examination process. 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. * Linkss 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.
