Ortho Notes: A Clinical Examination Pocket Guide

by Dawn T. Gulick PT PhD ATC CSCS

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, 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
