Special Tests for Orthopedic Examination is now available in a completely updated and refined new edition. This concise manual is a valuable reference for identifying and performing special tests used during an orthopedic examination.

Students, clinicians, and rehabilitation professionals will enhance their ability to interpret and evaluate their findings.


This new edition takes a simplistic approach to visualizing and explaining over 150 commonly used orthopedic special tests. Readers benefit from the user-friendly, spiral-bound format, as clear and concise text is coupled with excellent photographs to illustrate the subject and clinician positioning.

Comments found at the end of most of the tests provide valuable clinical insight and detailed implications.
