Examination of Orthopedic & amp; Athletic Injuries 5th Edition (EPUB)

Perform Accurate Evaluations of Orthopedic Injuries

By Chad Starkey PhD AT FNATA, Blaine C. Long PHD AT ATC, Julie M. Cavallario PHD LAT ATC
This excellent book has received five-star reviews and is highly recommended by many readers. It is worth the cost, particularly for undergraduate and graduate students who have found it to be helpful with great photos and examples.

The book, organized by body region, provides detailed illustrations and precise language to explain even the most complicated concepts and techniques, making it the field’s standard resource. Each chapter begins with a review of anatomy and biomechanics; proceeds through clinical evaluation, pathologies, and related special tests; and concludes with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries. An access code inside new, printed texts unlocks range-of-motion animations and review questions for every chapter online.

• Updated & Revised! The book provides the most current information on best evidence-based practices
• Expanded! “Intervention Strategies” for each condition, provide an overview of the approaches that can be used to integrate the diagnostic process with the subsequent interventions
• New! “Clinical Correlations” tables are visual representations of key clinical findings and their relationships to pathologies. The tables are useful in identifying which clinical tests may be used to develop the differential diagnosis
• Updated! Muscle test procedures with instructions on the use of hand-held dynamometry for more precise assessment of muscular strength than traditional muscle testing to enhance the process of obtaining precise, objective strength measurements during the evaluation process and, when possible, comparing those measurements with those assessed during manual muscle testing
• Updated! The book provides information regarding the diagnostic accuracy of clinical testing, including additional representation of clinical prediction rules
• Expanded! There is an emphasis on integrating outcome measures into the examination process and connecting the outcomes to brief descriptions of the interventions used

• The book is conforming to or exceeding the National Athletic Training Educational Competencies
• There are procedures for over 185 special, neurological, ligamentous, and range of motion tests, with distinctive boxes for each type of test, including goniometry, resisted range of motion and manual muscle tests, clinical tests, and special tests
• Precisely illustrated, step-by-step instructions are provided for the correct position of the patient and examiner, the evaluative procedure, positive test results, and implications
• “Evaluative Findings” boxes, “Practical Evidence Boxes” and “Observational Findings” boxes are included
• In addition, unique palpation photographs with anatomical overlays are included to identify the underlying structure as well as tables of bony landmarks
• The book provides assessments of the reliability of each test with grades that show the level of support from the available evidence
