Ortho Notes: A Clinical Examination Pocket Guide

by Dawn T. Gulick

"This handy pocket guide gives you the essential orthopedic information you need in class, clinical, and practice. The first tabbed section focuses on alerts and alarms, while the following 7 tabbed sections are organized by joint. Abundant illustrations galore for specific tests, palpation pearls, pain referral patterns, and trigger points. Each "joint" tab features subcategories for pathology across the lifespan, including: medical screening, imaging, mechanism of injury, ROM, strength and functional deficits, and special tests. The only non-joint tab, "Alerts/Alarms," presents additional data from across the lifespan in charts and tables for patient management, medical conditions related to gender and age, vital signs, and abbreviations - Pages are waterproof and reusable so you can temporarily record clinical data; wipe them clean with alcohol; and use them again "
