About the Book

Easily reference orthopedic special tests, organized by body region. Clinicians employ many tools to help them accurately diagnose and rehabilitate orthopedic injuries. Special Tests in Orthopedics serves as a quick way for professionals and students to reference 214 different special tests organized by body region and diagnosis. Each case is unique, and it's important to know which tests should be used to positively identify a diagnosis. That's why each test in this book features the psychometric properties for each assessment, including the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios where available based on current evidence. Tests also include color photos and written instructions on how they are performed. Containing only the most essential information, this text is the perfect resource for clinicians to have at their fingertips. Organized by body region for easy navigation, readers can also refer to subcategories within each chapter to find tests designed for a specific diagnosis. Special test clusters are also included to aid in determining the diagnosis with a greater degree of confidence. Written by the same author team as Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fifth Edition, this guide provides convenient and condensed information and can be easily brought on clinical rotations. It is a perfect supplement for examination texts and can just as easily be used as a stand-alone resource for students and seasoned clinicians looking for a quick reference guide for orthopedic special tests. Clinicians and students alike will appreciate Special Tests in Orthopedics the next time they are faced with a case on which they need a refresher or clarification.
