Reviews

"Stands on its own as an easy-to-carry reference in the clinic. Appropriate for most health care professionals who conduct orthopedic evaluations. The strengths of Orthopedic & Athletic Injury Evaluation Handbook are its clear diagrams and the table format frequently used to present information. Athletic trainers and physical therapists will find this on-the-field or in-the-clinic handbook a useful reference with clear explanations and diagrams." --  Advance for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants, October 11, 2004
