In this edition of Orthopedic Physical Assessment, information
has been updated in all of the chapters with several
new tests and figures, especially in the area of concussions
and assessment of the hip. The tables on the reliability
and validity of many of the special tests and the examples
of many functional tests have been moved to the Student
Consult website, where they are available electronically
for those who want them. Reliability studies for testing
show variability in their outcomes, so key tests are highlighted
using different icons because the value of the tests
have been demonstrated clinically and/or statistically
that they contribute to determining what the problem is.
Hopefully, this will help students and clinicians determine
which tests could be effective depending on the pathology
being presented. These special tests do not replace a
good history or examination.
This book, as the title suggests, is about assessing formusculoskeletal pathology. It is not a pathology textbook.
As part of the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series,
the companion book to Orthopedic Physical Assessment
is Pathology and Interventions in Musculoskeletal
Rehabilitation, which goes into much greater detail on
pathological conditions and their treatment. As “bookends”
to these two books, Scientific Foundations and
Principles of Practice in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
provides information on healing of different tissue types,
pain and aging, and the principles of different types of
practice to treat different musculoskeletal tissue types;
while Athletic and Sport Issues in Musculoskeletal
Rehabilitation deals with more acute injuries and issues
related to the more active individual, specific groups, and
specific activities as they relate to sport.
