Orthopedic Clinical Examination + Web Resource with Case Studies and Videos

Description

Orthopedic Clinical Examination With Web Resource is an evidence-based guide on the process of conducting tests and making diagnoses, providing readers with fundamental knowledge for performing orthopedic evaluations and diagnosing conditions.

The text takes a structured approach which 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 both treatment-based and pathological-based diagnostic styles are covered in detail, allowing readers to gain a thorough understanding of both approaches.
