Customer Reviews

Great service

I received the book today. It took three weeks but still, i am happy to get this book at a lesser price than amazon. In a rainy day, the book was packed in a bag and delivered. The Used book (4th edition) in great shape. Thanks......

Comprehensive and yet never dull

The first time I saw this book in the hands of an US exchange student, I became jealous. Everything I had learned as a fourth year pt student on diagnostic assessment was in there and more. I just had to have it. From details of observation to validity of test procedures, it is all there, even the more obscure and rarely used tests. In combination with lots of drawings (albeit not very detailed), x-rays, and pictures, everything you ever could want to know is available. And it is well written, compact but clear. It is THE book on the subject.

the book

it about one month to get it,but i saved a little money, and it's a wonderful book!

LOVE IT

I really enjoy this book; it is helping me understand how to find different possibilities of problems in the body.

Everything you needed to know...

An absolute need for Physical Therapists in the orthopedic and/or sports medicine field. If you have a version over 10 years old, I highly recommend you upgrade to this one. There is new stuff and great pictures!

Foundational Text for Physical Therapy, and Orthopedics

Excellent in all respects. Should be a core text in all Physical Therapy Programs. Head and shoulder above other texts of its kind. The authors have remained current with every edition. A great reference for orthopedic residents as well.
