Atlas of the Musculoskeletal Examination
Atlas of the Musculoskeletal Examination Books
Product Description
One of every seven Americans reports some form of musculoskeletal complaint that limits activity or productivity. Musculoskeletal problems are the leading cause of illness at work and the origin of most temporary and permanent disabilities. Not surprisingly, then, a significant ratio of diagnosis and treatment is rendered by primary care physicians and other nonspecialist healthcare providers. Atlas of the Musculoskeletal Examination provides physicians with the most apt tests, pithily explaining what to look for and when to handle. General principles are initially discussed. Later chapters focus on particular body areas: the upper extremities (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand/fingers), gait and spine, and the lower extremities (hip, knee, ankle, foot/toes). Each description is accompanied by an illustration of the test or shape up below discussion. Range of motion is demonstrated for all joints. Examples of specific disease processes are provided, especially when testing procedures are of value. Soft tissue diseases receive unique emphasis. The first volume in the new ACP Clinical Skills run, Atlas of the Musculoskeletal Examination, is an essential volume for the involved physician.
