Short description
Students of physical therapy, rehabilitation, chiropractics, and osteopathy will welcome the new edition of this popular textbook. Written by a physiatrist, an orthopedic surgeon, and a physical therapist, Musculoskeletal Examination, 3rd Edition, now includes more surface anatomy photographs; "potential pitfalls" boxes to highlight difficulties; and more than 800 illustrations, x-rays, and MRIs. This multidisciplinary text is ideal for teaching introductory courses, but detailed enough for professional reference.
