This is a very good book, as it shows pictures of the procedures and gives a good explanation of why they are done. However, the book I received had a few pages missing. So please fully check your copy when you receive it.

A very complete text. However the format is not perfect for study review purposes. There is a lot of wasted space in the text with notes on the left and diagrams and tables on the right and following pages. Sometimes when your scanning, reviewing,you have to flip back and forth to see which diagrams relate to which topic. Other than that it is a fine text.

Lots of typos in the text and some of the pictures show the wrong patient position. I would not recommend this book!

Love this book. Each primary topic gives a paragraph on clinical description of the condition, muscles/nerves/connective tissue which may be involved, a box describing signs and symptoms of the condition, then illustrations of the anatomy involved. Each primary topic is followed with palpation instructions for the regional anatomy, range of motion measurements, then neurological or orthopaedic exams describing the procedure of the exam, the rationale behind it, its sensitivity/reliabilty, and photographs of the assessment being performed.

It is a well written and very usefull book. I reccomand it espetially to those entering the field of musculoskeletal disorders. Each test is explained in short and precise manner with short guideline to diagnosti thinking. Excellent book. It's a must for students and residents. Once you go threw things are much more clear. It's an excellent book.
