This review is from: Musculoskeletal Physical Examination: An Evidence-Based Approach, Textbook with DVD (Hardcover)

Good review of Musculoskeletal examination and review of current literature with regard to specificity and sensitivity of techniques. DVD demonstrating maneuvers good. The book itself could be considerably shorter and cheaper, tables throghout book taken verbatim from text and could have been edited/pared down considerably.
Overall good book, complement to other books such as Hoppenfeld
