Evaluation of Orthopedic and Athletic Injuries, Used [Hardcover]

This guide to the evaluation of orthopaedic and athletic injuries uses a standard approach throughout (history, inspection, palpation, functional testing, special testing, neurological evaluation) and delineates the differences and similarities between clinical and on-field evaluation. Each chapter starts with a review of the bony areas, clinical anatomy and biomechanics of that part of the body and ends with a discussion of emergency or initial management of specific injuries. All special tests follow the same format throughout to help students visualize the procedures and develop the psychomotor skills of injury evaluation. Most common injuries are accompanied by a table highlighting the common clinical findings and the signs and symptoms.
