Orthopedic & Athletic Injury Examination Handbook

"Stands on its own as an easy-to-carry reference in the clinic. [Its] strengths… are its clear diagrams and the table format frequently used to present information. Athletic trainers and physical therapists will find this on-the-field or in-the-clinic handbook a useful reference with clear explanations and diagrams."—Advance for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants, review of a previous edition.

Tap into easy-to-follow, step-by-step guidance on the evaluation and initial management of specific orthopedic and athletic injuries with the companion to Examination of Orthopedic and Athletic Injuries, 4th Edition.

From evaluative procedures for palpation and range of motion through neurologic, ligamentous, and special tests, everything you need now in the lab, and later in the field or in the clinic, is here. It’s a terrific preparation tool for the BOC examination, too.
