In this edition of Orthopedic Physical Assessment, informationhas been updated in all of the chapters with severalnew tests and figures, especially in the area of concussionsand assessment of the hip. The tables on the reliabilityand validity of many of the special tests and the examplesof many functional tests have been moved to the StudentConsult website, where they are available electronicallyfor those who want them. Reliability studies for testingshow variability in their outcomes, so key tests are highlightedusing different icons because the value of the testshave been demonstrated clinically and/or statisticallythat they contribute to determining what the problem is.Hopefully, this will help students and clinicians determinewhich tests could be effective depending on the pathologybeing presented. These special tests do not replace agood history or examination.This book, as the title suggests, is about assessing formusculoskeletal pathology. It is not a pathology textbook.As part of the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Series,the companion book to Orthopedic Physical Assessmentis Pathology and Interventions in MusculoskeletalRehabilitation, which goes into much greater detail onpathological conditions and their treatment. As “bookends”to these two books, Scientific Foundations andPrinciples of Practice in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitationprovides information on healing of different tissue types,pain and aging, and the principles of different types ofpractice to treat different musculoskeletal tissue types;while Athletic and Sport Issues in MusculoskeletalRehabilitation deals with more acute injuries and issuesrelated to the more active individual, specific groups, andspecific activities as they relate to sport.
