 Really great clinical textbook to keep on hand August 22, 2007
Audrey Beatty (Boston, MA)
I purchased this book while in college, as a required text, and I still LOVE this book. For those who are visual learners, this will help a lot. Technically some of the tests within the book, I've been told, are not great 'clinical' tests. However, that's not the point. If you want to know how to perform a specific test (or one related to it) this is the book to have!! The book is wonderfully indexed per joint/location and typically have at least one photo to follow with simple directions, and results to look for (positive or negative, clinically).
 Excellent July 8, 2006

Covers most clinical joint tests, including some I had not heard of before. Gives tips on positioning, testing, and interpreting the results, with helpful photos for each test.

ordered it on 1/17 and still have not received it on 2/19. They ran out of books and told me that it would be shipped out sometime between 2/1 - 3/17. Would not recommend this buying from them unless you know for sure that it is in stock!!!
 Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination December 7, 2001

I bought this book in preparation for the NATA certification exam. This book is concise and has fairly good pictures for the orthopedic tests, however it lacks detail in explanation of tests. For example, on the Trendelenburg test it states that a positive finding indicates a weakness of the gluteus medius on the supported side. Even though this is accurate, it does not indicate that since the glut medius is innervated by the superior gluteal nerve from the L5 nerve root, a lesion to either of these structures will also cause a positive finding. In addition, and most noteably, there are serious errors in the cranial nerve assessment section which would indicate that the text had not been properly reviewed before publication. I would strongly caution anyone purchasing this book to ignore this chapter in the text and seek other references for neurologic assessment.

This is a great book for othro tests. All the tests come with
large pictures and exaxt directions on what to do.
It also tells what the + and - signs are when doing a test
It is a wonderful reference and reminder of quick ortho tests for out-patient rehab places. Easy to understand for both PTA's and PT's.
