An easy-to-use guide for the assessment of musculoskeletal problems in upper limbs.
With over 300 illustrations, there is no resource quite like The Pocket Atlas of Special Tests for the Upper Limb. This clear and easy-to-use guide will help you understand the purpose, procedures, and additional considerations for 83 upper limb tests. These tests can help you identify whether the musculoskeletal problem lies with a joint, a ligament, a muscle, a tendon, or another structure.
The guide is presented in three parts, covering the shoulder (part I), elbow (part II), and wrist and hand (part III). Finding what you need is easy with the alphabetical listing of the tests, which includes the reason for choosing each one.
The Pocket Atlas of Special Tests for the Upper Limb offers manual therapists and students a quick reference for special tests that are useful when assessing musculoskeletal issues.
