In order to treat work-related musculoskeletal disorders, occupational and physical therapists need to do more than take a patient history, examine the worker, and perform laboratory tests. They must also understand the long-standing problems, the patternof recurring symptoms, and the differential diagnosis for specific conditions. "Management of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders" provides the information necessary to understand, assess, and treat these disorders in order to safely return the worker to the worksite.

The second edition of this handy reference tool includes even more special tests, treatment options and resources to help physical therapy students perform thorough and efficient musculoskeletal assessments of patients. Organized in outline format, each of the 15 chapters includes an overview of subjective and objective examination topics for a specific body region or system, followed by a quick reference table of special tests and treatment options. The expanded appendices also include a number of assessment tools and resources that will be useful to both students and professionals. The guide's small size and lay-flat spiral binding make it easy for students to refer to during actual patient treatment if they need to check on a test for a particular body region. Graduated tabs marking the location of each chapter and appendix will make it easier for students and clinicians to find information quickly.
