Summary: Physician Assistant Orthopedic exams made easy
Review: As a new Physician Assistant Graduate I had to get up to speed fast when I accepted a postion with a large orthopedic group. This Book was a life saver, not only did it go over the basic anatomical postions, it covered flextion, extension, etc. all the basics were covered. The book goes on to explain why the test is done, what a positive test reveals and how to determine if it's really valid. The author even provides tests designed to reveal Patients who fake injuries and tests designed to help pin point what and where the actual pain and problem orginates. All areas of this in depth book are covered well. Photographs aid the practioner with each topic and exam, photographs are labeled to eliminate guesses and each portion of the body is contained within it's own chapter. This is a book designed for the Orthopedic practitionar.
