This book has excellent, easy instructions that really work. The exercises help to relieve most neck pains. Great pictures and easily understood information for anyone to use.             Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities19 reviews Stanley Hoppenfeld Appleton & Lange, 1976 Classic, gold standard There is only one Hoppenfeld. For what it is, it's the best. It's all diagnosis. Not a word on treatment. But it gives a good review of not just the physical exam but also the underlying anatomy and biomechanics. Two other books are worth getting. Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment is a good background book to have on your shelf. It's written by a physical therapist, so the perspective ...             Orthopaedic Assessment, Evaluation & Intervention (Book & DVD)3 reviews Mark Dutton McGraw-Hill Medical, 2008 Great Reference book Of the many textbook I have had to purchase and read I found the information in this one to be very accessible.

Norkin, D. Joyce White F. A. Davis Company, 2003 Invaluable I got an earlier edition of this book in Physical Therapy school and it was invaluable in teaching the finer points of goniometry. I constantly used it as a source of information, until I became comfortable with measuring joint range of motion. Since I am now working in the inpatient arena, I mostly repeatedly measure knees, but refer back to it when I need to brush up on another joint. It has ...             The Clinical Drug Therapy: Rationales for Nursing Practice (Field Guide Series)2 reviews Anne Collins Abrams, Sandra Smith Pennington, ...

The format is great.             Treat Your Own Knees: Simple Exercises to Build Strength, Flexibility, Responsiveness and Endurance14 reviews Jim Johnson Hunter House, 2003 Excellent Book I've never written an Amazon review before, but this little book impressed me so much that other readers should share its benefits. I damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and had recurring pain for two years. A string of hospitals, therapists and acupuncturists were all unable to diagnose, never mind treat, the problem. Enter Jim Johnson Stage Right>>> 6 weeks after doing only part ...             Orthopedic Physical Assessment (Orthopedic Physical Assessment (Magee))8 reviews David J. Magee Saunders, 2007 Great contribution to medical education, poor photographs I bought this textbook together with Ferri's Clinical advisor with great enthusiasm. Though this book has fewer contributors, it offers enormous amount of information on physical assessment. Other than the reference pages at the end of each chapter, you cannot spot a single page that does not have a drawing, a photograph, charts, tables, or tips. You cannot resist but feel great appreciation to ...             Joint Structure And Function: A Comprehensive Analysis (Joint Structure and Function)8 reviews Pamela K. Levangie, Cynthia C. Norkin F. A. Davis Company, 2005 Joint Structure and Function Textbook This book is in excellent condition and was received promptly from the sender. Thanks!             Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care (3rd Edition)24 reviews Walter Greene American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2005 Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care If you're going to be in practice, you had better own this book.

McKinnis F. A. Davis Company, 2005 Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Imaging (Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation) Written by a PT and great for non-radiologists. Line drawings with pictures overlays to plain films helpful. Must have for PT personal library.             Basic Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System3 reviews Margareta Nordin, Victor H Frankel Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001 Masterpiece This book covers most aspects relating to ortopaedic biomechanics. It is a most useful reference to all orthopaedic surgeon and biomechanical researchers. I have no doubt that this book should be in the library of every professions allied to orthopaedic surgery and biomechanics.             Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff16 reviews Jim Johnson Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2007 Well, it worked I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what counted. Well, posture and losing weight solved that problem. Had a completely different feeling problem. Went back after ...             Joint Range of Motion and Muscle Length Test1 review Nancy Berryman Reese, William D. Bandy Saunders, 2002 Clinical text Great for the student of goniometery. Though the content and layout is very similar to some other texts on the subject the information is presented in a more "user friendly" manner in terms of terminology and instruction of technique. A great reference text when designing test protocols.             Ortho Notes: A Clinical Examination Pocket Guide5 reviews Dawn, Ph.D. Gulick F. A. Davis Company, 2005 Exactly what we learned in class Dawn Gulick taught Ortho to my class and this book is the best. I only wish we had it at the begining of the class. Everything she taught us was included. It is a really good reference that actually fits in your pocket. I carry it with me at clinic as a reference. It is easy to use and just short of bullet proof. You can write in it and erase pen with an alcohol pad. I have spilled coffee on it ...             Clinical Orthopaedic Rehabilitation11 reviews S. Brent Brotzman, Kevin E. Wilk Mosby, 2003 Excellent I am a physiatrist specialized in musculoskeletal pain from Lima, Peru, and I can say that this book is a wonderful review of rehabilitatión in orthopaedic surgery. It has plenty of protocols very useful as guides of our treatments. Of course each patient is different and each pathology has its unique features, but after a careful medical evaluation one can fit the protocol for every individual ...             Total Knee Replacement and Rehabilitation: The Knee Owner's Manual28 reviews Daniel J. Brugioni, Jeff Falkel Hunter House, 2004 Total Knee Replacement and Rehabilitation: the Knee Owner's Manual Purchased for my father 2 days out of TKR. Now at 4 weeks out and progressing extremely well he states that the book is execellent and right on with what he has been experiencing. Wishes he would have read it prior to surgery to better prepare himself both mentally and physically. He has specifically repeated the physical preparation as the muscle recovery and the pain expectations he had are ...             Functional Anatomy of the Vertebrates: An Evolutionary Perspective2 reviews Karel Liem, William Bemis, ... Brooks Cole, 2000 Comprehensive and clear This book is well-organized and clearly written, and includes some truly fascinating revelations about the vertebrates, especially relating to biomechanics. It is, however, really too encyclopedic for undergraduates to read cover to cover. As a supplement to a lecture course, I find it excellent; if the lecturer expects students to learn most of the material from the text alone, they are in for ...             Manual Mobilization of the Joints: Vol I The Extremities3 reviews Freddy M. Kaltenborn Orthopedic Physical Therapy Products, 2002 Interesting and informative As a student of physiotherapy I don't have much time, so I am greatful when I find a book like this that gives me so much information in so little time.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2002 Great for beginning and experienced osteopaths. This is the long awaited basic textbook for osteopathic medicine. It is surprisingly complete, covering philosophy, history, research, and manipulative techniques. The beginning osteopathic student may find it most useful for its practical discussion on the techniques--high velocity, myofascial release, etc. I believe it is also helpful in standardizing our terminology, which will make it ...             Evaluation of Orthopedic and Athletic Injuries2 reviews Chad Starkey, Jeffrey L. Ryan F. A. Davis Company, 2001 Worthwhile study material for NATABOC This book has one very strong point, its step-by-step guides for each and every physical examination.
