Orthopedic Manual Therapy is an evidence based textbook designed to provide examination, treatment and reassessment measures for orthopedic clinicians. The textbook examines current manual therapy approaches, literature associated with examination and treatment techniques involving manual therapy, and evidence regarding diagnostic accuracy of clinical special tests. Each procedure is presented in a step-by-step method with a visual aide or photograph for ease of reproduction.
Features + Benefits
Standardized Examination Method- Allows for reproduction from one clinician to another and allows standardized education.
Comprehensive Review of biomechanics and theories of manual therapy- Assessment of current manual therapy dogma, myths, and theories of merit.
Detailed step by step procedure of each technique- Allows standardized reproduction for "each" procedure or technique. Decreases variation.
Description and diagnostic values of clinical special tests- One can identify which tests are more effective for screening and which are more effective for diagnosis.
Evidence based review of research supporting manual therapy techniques- One can examine the evidence for selected interventions.
