This book is the first to truly demonstrate benefit, by using a test and measure for screening or for diagnostic confirmation, which shows appropriate diagnostic accuracy, is free from bias, and should be reproducible and effective for the condition and clinical environment at hand. Since for some orthopedic clinicians, the statistical terminology may be unfamiliar, chapter one is essentially a user’s guide for the book. Additional chapters include: Neurological and Structural Differentiation Testing , Special Clinical Tests of the Hip, and Special Clinical Tests of the Lower Leg, Ankle and Foot. For ease of access, the tests are listed in each chapter according to pathoanatomical classification and ordered in a descending fashion, from best to worst, based on their “Utility Score”.

Concise, quick resource material for special tests.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Orthopedic Physical Examination Tests: An Evidence-Based Approach (Paperback)
With the voluminous amount of "special tests" out there, this book is a concise, quick resource material to gauge effectivity of common orthopedic tests employed. As mentioned, it is evidence based and it grades the tests for merit regarding its sensitivity/specificity in ruling in/out specific orthopedic conditions. The book includes step by step written instruction with pictures in performing the tests to standardize the procedure. It also includes CD for reference.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great quick reference manual for special tests.,

This review is from: Orthopedic Physical Examination Tests: An Evidence-Based Approach (Paperback)
The great thing about the book is the authors, who are academics, do all the work for you. Clinicians are too busy to look up all the stats, do the math and problem solve if it is a clinically valid test or not. I really like that the authors test the tests a bunch of different ways statistically and come up with a rating. More PT texts should be this type of format.

This review is from: Orthopedic Physical Examination Tests: An Evidence-Based Approach (Paperback)
This an excellent evidence based orthopedic resource reference guide, on par with Cyriax's texts. It was indispensible text for completing my (DPT) Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy. The specificty, sensitivity, liklihood ratios, and clusters provided enable a clinician to confirm with confidence a diagnosis and appropriate intervention strategy to acheive a good functional outcome in the majority of patients. I use it daily!
