Hip and Knee Pain Disorders: A Comprehensive Guide to Evidence-Informed Management

This book, edited by three renowned experts in clinical research, provides a state-of-the-art overview of the examination and conservative management of hip and knee pain conditions. By combining clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, and authority-based knowledge, this textbook offers a unique approach to managing musculoskeletal pain conditions using conservative interventions.

Honoring the Original Intent of Evidence-Based Practice

The current evidence-based practice paradigm often places greater value on research, overlooking the importance of clinician expertise and patient preference. In contrast, evidence-informed practice acknowledges the equal value of research evidence, clinician expertise, and patient preference in making informed decisions.

This textbook addresses the clinical reality of managing hip and knee pain patients in the absence of a comprehensive scientific rationale, using other sources of knowledge to fill the gap.

A Multimodal Approach to Management

Hip and Knee Pain Disorders brings together manual therapies and exercise programs in a multimodal approach to management, providing a comprehensive reference source for clinicians of all professions interested in conservative management of the hip and knee regions.

The book acknowledges the expanding direct access role of the physical therapy profession and serves as a valuable textbook for students at both entry and post-graduate levels.

Contributors and Editors

Edited by three recognized world leaders in clinical research into manual therapy and chronic pain, this book combines 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, ensuring a well-rounded and authoritative perspective on the management of hip and knee pain conditions.
