3.0 out of 5 stars Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination, December 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination (Paperback)
I bought this book in preparation for the NATA certification exam. This book is concise and has fairly good pictures for the orthopedic tests, however it lacks detail in explanation of tests. For example, on the Trendelenburg test it states that a positive finding indicates a weakness of the gluteus medius on the supported side. Even though this is accurate, it does not indicate that since the glut medius is innervated by the superior gluteal nerve from the L5 nerve root, a lesion to either of these structures will also cause a positive finding. In addition, and most noteably, there are serious errors in the cranial nerve assessment section which would indicate that the text had not been properly reviewed before publication. I would strongly caution anyone purchasing this book to ignore this chapter in the text and seek other references for neurologic assessment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Special tests for Orthopedic Examination, April 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination (Paperback)
This book covered all of the essential tests that are needed for evaluating a patient. It allows the reader to walk through each exam and understand what exactly needs to be tested.It also gives examples of what the examiner should be looking for. If preparing for the NATABOC, this book would definetly be a good study guide!

This review is from: Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination (Paperback)
This is a great book for othro tests. All the tests come with
large pictures and exaxt directions on what to do.
It also tells what the + and - signs are when doing a test
It is a wonderful reference and reminder of quick ortho tests for out-patient rehab places. Easy to understand for both PTA's and PT's.
