What other
elite practitioners are
saying... |

"Musculoskeletal pain
is one of the most common complaints seen by family practitioners. This is an
excellent resource to provide clinicians with the current best evidence for
effectively and efficiently examining and diagnosing these patients. It is a
valuable evidence-based resource for those learning and teaching how to evaluate
musculoskeletal complaints. A must-have resource for
medical, PA and NP students, physical therapists, residents, faculty and
sports-medicine fellows seeking greater depth in musculoskeletal evaluation."
Keith S. Dickerson, MD,
MS
Faculty
Physician, St. Mary's Family Medicine Residency
"Students
and seasoned clinicians alike all wrestle with the problems of data smog, clear
operational test definitions, and "how-to factor" related to tests and measures
of the clinical examination for musculoskeletal problems. This remarkable text
and accompanying CD has met those challenges head-on and the result is a
"1-thing" you need to know virtual clinical mentor for healthcare professionals
of every background who encounter or manage patients with musculoskeletal
disorders."
Robert
S. Wainner, PT, PhD
