Product Description
Here's a powerful quick reference and clinical tool - small enough to fit into your pocket, yet complete enough to cover any assessment test you need to perform! Detailing every test included in Illustrated Orthopedic Physical Assessment, 3rd Edition, this handy, thoroughly illustrated pocket guide includes only the essential information you need to know. Information for each test is presented in a consistent manner for quick reference, and includes: name of the test, alternate names for the test, suspected syndrome, concise description of the testing procedure, clinical pearl, and photo(s) of the procedure. Plus, just as in the parent text, each test also contains a corresponding orthopedic gamut which provides a summary of key points in a concise list, serving as a diagnostic rubric for use in patient exams.

 Easy to carry and easy to use August 27, 2008
Evans is one of the basic names in orthopedic testing. This book is the carry version of the larger textbook and, as far as I am concerned, as good as its larger (heavier) version. I am a chiropractic student so I needed a book for my training and my eventual office - this is the book I chose. Quick descriptions and conditions, and easy to follow pictures make this the best orthopedic testing book out there.
