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. The companion DVD
features video footage of Dr. Evans performing each assessment test
in the book, along with his expert commentary. 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! At the Viewbox feature contains
high-quality radiographs that depict various pathologies, as well
as musculature and other anatomy that can't be shown
photographically.
