Cipriano Joseph J. (ed.) Photographic Manual of Regional Orthopaedic and Neurological Tests

5th edition. — Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2010. — 1023 p.Tests describes in step-by-step fashion how to perform these tests. Each chapter begins with a decision tree of the orthopaedic examination of an anatomic area, followed by a brief description of the anatomic area, usually with an accompanying drawing. The presentation of each test begins with a clinical description and a box of clinical signs and symptoms, followed by a brief description of the procedure with a photograph demonstrating the position of the clinician and the patient. The author then presents a brief rationale for the test and suggests diagnostic imaging procedures where appropriate.Protocol Clinical Assessment
