I purchased this book while in college, as a required text, and I still LOVE this book. For those who are visual learners, this will help a lot. Technically some of the tests within the book, I've been told, are not great 'clinical' tests. However, that's not the point. If you want to know how to perform a specific test (or one related to it) this is the book to have!! The book is wonderfully indexed per joint/location and typically have at least one photo to follow with simple directions, and results to look for (positive or negative, clinically).
This is a great book for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers. It is a book purely consisting of orthopedic special tests: name, starting position, ending position, and positive findings. Very straight-forward, and broken down in a very user friendly manner. Great book for prepping for you board exams.
Covers most clinical joint tests, including some I had not heard of before. Gives tips on positioning, testing, and interpreting the results, with helpful photos for each test.
I keep it on my desk in the clinic. As a PTA I dont normally perform the tests but need to be able to recreate if PT asked for it. keeping it around helps remember especially because there's so many shoulder tests.
Great book i keep in my duffel bag that i take to clinical with me. Its small and compact and a great way to get a quick refresher when your mind draws a blank. Its well organized and easy to use. I recommend it.
I received my book within a couple days, but the cover on the spiral bound book is placed incorrectly. The 'cover' is on upside down and in the rear of the book. Very annoying, and to fix the problem you have to take every page out of the spiral portion to get to the 'cover' to place it correctly. Other than that, I love the product.
I use this book frequently in Physical Therapy. It is a comprehensive book on special tests for all suspected orthopedic injuries/disabilities, many I learned in school years ago & many I did not. This book is a great refresher & reminder of tests to perform during an evaluation. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this book!
This book is great for special tests. I am a ortho PA and I use it all the time. Highly recommend
