Hip and Knee Pain Disorders has been written to provide a
state-of-the-art, evidence-informed and clinically-informed
overview of the examination and conservative management of hip/knee
pain conditions. Under the current predominantly evidence-based
practice paradigm, clinician expertise, patient preference, and
best available research determine examination, and prognostic and
clinical management decisions. However, this paradigm has been
understood by many to place greater value and emphasis on the
research component, thereby devaluing the other two.
Evidence-informed practice is a term that has been suggested to
honor the original intent of evidence-based practice, while also
acknowledging the value of clinician experience and expertise. In
essence, evidence-informed practice combines clinical reasoning,
based on current best evidence, with authority-based knowledge and
a pathophysiological rationale derived from extrapolation of basic
science knowledge. Unlike other published textbooks that
overemphasize the research component in decision-making, this book
aims to address the clinical reality of having to make decisions on
the management of a patient with hip/knee pain, in the absence of a
comprehensive scientific rationale, using other sources of
knowledge. It offers an evidence-informed textbook that values
equally research evidence, clinician expertise and patient
preference. The book is edited by three recognised world leaders in
clinical research into manual therapy and chronic pain. Their
research activities are concentrated on the evidence-based
management of musculoskeletal pain conditions using conservative
interventions. For this book they have combined their knowledge and
clinical expertise with that of 38 additional contributors, all
specialists in the field The contributors include a mix of
clinicians and clinician-researchers. Hip and Knee Pain Disorders
is unique in bringing together manual therapies and exercise
programs in a multimodal approach to the management of these pain
conditions from both a clinical, but also evidence-based,
perspective. It acknowledges the expanding direct access role of
the physical therapy profession. The book provides an important
reference source for clinicians of all professions interested in
conservative management of the hip and knee regions. It will also
be useful as a textbook for students at both entry and
post-graduate level.
