Despite growing reliance on imaging, clinical examination remains the bedrock of diagnosis of the musculoskeletal patient. Special tests have widespread utility particularly in sport and can often help to elucidate a patient’s presentation where the lesion is subtle and otherwise difficult to detect and, in turn, guide management and treatment. Handbook of Special Tests in Musculoskeletal Examination: An evidence-based guide for clinicians, 2nd Edition is a pocketbook guide to over 100 peripheral tests.

    • A fully illustrated step-by-step guide to each test giving clinicians all the information they need at their fingertips.
    • A focussed review of the latest evidence and how this applies to practice.
    • Use of clinical tips and expert opinion to allow clinicians to select the most appropriate test and interpret the results meaningfully.
    • Full review of the evidence integrated into the entire text.
    • New clinical context section at the start of each section making it easy to find and providing advanced background knowledge to extend the readers knowledge.
    • Brand new colour photography to show each test clearly throughout.
    • Additional tests included allowing readers to extend their knowledge and understanding.
  • Paul Hattam, MSc MCSP FSOM, Director and Principal Physiotherapist, The Physios, Sheffield, UK and Alison Smeatham, MSc MCSP FSOM, Extended Scope Practitioner, Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Exeter, UK
