Book Description

ISBN-10: 0397551509 | ISBN-13: 978-0397551507 | Publication Date: January 15, 1996 | Edition: 3rd
This is the leading textbook of orthopaedic physical therapy. The consistent format first introduces the basic concepts of conservative management of musculoskeletal problems, then discusses each region. Regional chapters cover functional anatomy and biomechanics, evaluation, and management of common lesions. The material presented on evaluation and treatment is explained in a step-by-step format, making it clear, logical, and easy to follow. An abundance of illustrations and photographs highlight treatment techniques; and an extensive list of references help correlate research with physical therapy practice. A wealth of new knowledge makes the third edition truly comprehensive. New chapters in this edition: Properties of Dense Connective Tissue and Wound Healing, The Thoracic Spine, and The Sacroiliac Joint and the Lumbar-Pelvic-Hip Complex. The ankle and hindfoot chapter has been expanded to cover the lower leg and forefoot. Other features include: new visuals - 98 new line drawings and 293 new halftones enhance the text, especially therapeutic procedures; new discussion of joint stabilization techniques and the role of exercise, reflects current practice; and new chapter outlines at the beginning of each chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars In Praise of Management of Common Musculoskeletal Disorders, March 7, 2011
This review is from: Management of Common Musculoskeletal Disorders: Physical Therapy Principles and Methods (Management of Common Musculoskeletal Disorders (Hertling)) (Paperback)
I am an Advanced Rolfer & Massage Therapist and have been in practice for twenty years. This is the most useful text I have ever read. At over 1000 pages, there is a wealth of information; for me personally the detailed biomechanical information detailed in each of the chapters on joints answered a great many questions for me that had been troubling me for years. While I unflinchingly give this text 5 stars, I would caution that there are editorial snafus--things like switched descriptions on pages with multiple illustrations, and in one place in particular contradictory information in different parts of a chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, August 6, 2010
This review is from: Management of Common Musculoskeletal Disorders: Physical Therapy Principles and Methods (Hardcover)
I have had this book for over a decade, and still find the information within it useful both as a reference, and as a patient education source. It is well written, laid out, and indexed. If you deal with athletic injuries in any way, I consider this a must-have.

First Sentence:
Knowledge of the development of the musculoskeletal tissues is of particular value to clinicians, whether they deal mainly with patients with developmental disabilities, long-term rehabilitation problems, or common musculoskeletal disorders, because it yields insight into the phenomenon of pain perception, segmental innervation, repair processes, and general body organization. Read the first page
