Comprehensive and yet never dull December 27, 2008
The first time I saw this book in the hands of an US exchange student, I became jealous. Everything I had learned as a fourth year pt student on diagnostic assessment was in there and more. I just had to have it. From details of observation to validity of test procedures, it is all there, even the more obscure and rarely used tests. In combination with lots of drawings (albeit not very detailed), x-rays, and pictures, everything you ever could want to know is available. And it is well written, compact but clear. It is THE book on the subject.
Great resource! December 19, 2008
This book is a great resource for tests and measures with easy to find sections with clear instructions and lots of pictures!!
Excellent Reference October 1, 2008
This book is very good for the physical therapist or orthopedist. Full of good references and great overview of many special tests.
Outstanding reference in orthopedic examination February 16, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Fifth Edition of Orthopedic Physical Assessment is an outstanding reference for orthopedic physical therapists. The additional color pictures, illustrates, and upgraded tables within the chapter topics provides the reader a overview of a wealth of information. The regional and diagnose specific functional measurement/assessment tests are helpful for clinical outcome measurement data. Chapter four presents an outstanding overview of TMJ examination for an example. The chapter Appendixes with the reliability, validity, specificity, and sensitivity of special/diagnostic tests are helpful. br /br /I looked forward to seeing the 5th edition and have not been disappointed!
 Good book, not the best January 31, 2006
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
I thought this was an excellent exam book. I preferred Hoppenfeld's book, though there is less info. Of all the ones I've read, the best is still Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis. I think Magee's is better for a reference. Pocket Guide to MSK Dx is better for daily use.
