Orthopedic Physical Assessment

This book was extremely useful for my professional licensing examination. Thank you David Magee for writing sure a detailed and in-depth medical book for every practitioner.

Perfect!!!

Very comprehensive. Gold standard for assessment and evaluation.

Offers all the standard special tests that you could ask for, and a whole wack of other unproven diagnsotic tests. Doens't really provide evidence for many of the special tests listed, or the psychometric properties (such as specificity, sensitivity, reliability etc) which are necessary for evidence based practice. Third edition was somewhat more concise and didnt include a lot of the "useless" diagnostic tests which appear in the lateset edition and only serve to confuse the reader.

A great book for graduate school!

I thought this was an excellent exam book. I preferred Hoppenfeld's book, though there is less info. Of all the ones I've read, the best is still Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis. I think Magee's is better for a reference. Pocket Guide to MSK Dx is better for daily use.

Excellent source. Book was in great condition
