      The third edition of this pocket guide offers a comprehensive collection of clinical tests for major musculoskeletal structures, with new tests added and existing ones revised for practical, up-to-date evaluation. Organized by body region, it includes chapters on the spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers, hip, knee, and foot and ankle. Each chapter features a figure illustrating range of motion and an algorithm summarizing symptoms, tests, imaging, and diagnosis. Additional chapters cover posture deficiencies, venous thrombosis, occlusive arterial disease, neurovascular compression syndromes, and central nervous system disturbances. Each clinical test includes a step-by-step procedure description, followed by a concise assessment discussion and potential diagnoses. Special features include succinct descriptions of initial, functional, stress, and stability tests, over 600 precise line drawings to reinforce key concepts, helpful guidance for clinical examination, and an extensive bibliography for further reading. This edition is an essential tool for diagnosing functional impairments in musculoskeletal structures, making it ideal for orthopedists, rehabilitation specialists, physical therapists, osteopathic physicians, and residents in these fields.
