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.
