Perform accurate evaluations of orthopedic injuries

The field’s standard resource brings you the most current knowledge through a superb combination of detailed illustrations and precise language to make even the most complicated concepts and techniques clear. Organized by body region, each chapter begins with a review of anatomy and biomechanics; proceeds through clinical evaluation, pathologies, and related special tests; and concludes with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries.

An access code inside new, printed texts unlocks range-of-motion animations and review questions for every chapter online.

Five Stars!! Amazing book. A must-have reference for all musculoskeletal therapists.
