Practicing physical medicine and rehabilitation physician Grant Cooper, MD, provides a concise step-by-step approach to confidently establishing a working clinical diagnosis and finding appropriate treatment options for the most common musculoskeletal ailments. Organized by body region and written with superb clarity, this guide details the important questions to ask in history taking, the physical examination maneuvers appropriate for each pathology, the possible explanations and additional tests needed to diagnose the condition, and the most up-to-date treatment options available. The author offers clear explanations why each step in the history and physical examination is performed and discusses the basic pathophysiological processes involved. The ailments covered include neck and shooting arm pain; shoulder pain; elbow pain; wrist and hand pain; low back, hip, and shooting leg pain; knee pain, ankle pain, and foot pain. Numerous photographs demonstrate the correct hands-on methods for physical examination of the patient. A value-added CD-ROM version of book is included for downloading and use in the reader's PC or PDA.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Definitely not a shelf book...
Comment: A little more focused on neuro than would have thought, but that's ok as I carry it in my pocket at our sports med clinic. Not as comprehensive as other pocket guides for general ortho. More diagnostic then treatment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent (but for a big pocket)
Comment: I read the 1 star review and agree that there are some issues, but they are very few and far between. The book is an excellent resource that is laid out well, with the physiology and anatomy then the H&P stuff. It is simple and quick. It is not quite as "pockety" as I'd thought it would be. It is thin, but at 8.25x5.25, it doesn't fit in all my pockets. Never-the-less, it is an easy concise reference that I am already using a lot.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Short, sweet, and focused
Comment: This book helped me focus my musculoskeletal exam and make it more effecient. It's a first rate book that ortho docs and GPs alike would benefit from using. GPs and ortho/pm&r/neuro residents may particuarly like the diagnostic work up and treatment sections, which most exam books don't have. I was turned onto this book by a colleague and I'm very grateful that I was. Not many people seem to be using it yet, and I hadn't heard of it, but it's a good find. Other books for musculoskeletal exam that are worth getting are Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment (which is a larger book written by a PT that could be used as a reference for various physical exam maneuvers) and, of course, Hoppenfeld's Physical Exam book. Hoppenfeld still sets the standard when it comes to anatomy and biomechanical review, which he weaves nicely into his physical exam.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overall very helpful
Comment: I agree with some of the previous reviewer's remarks. I just got this book and found a few inaccuracies. However, I think overall it is a great resource to have for my rotations. It's easy to access the information I need. All the pictures of the tests are easy to follow and the written descriptions make it very clear to use even in between patients. I wouldn't make it my only physical exam book, but it's definitely one I prefer.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't trust this book
Comment: I have made it through two chapters, and already I have discovered two major factual errors. First, on page 7 neck extensors are described as innervated by the ventral cervical rami when, in fact, they are innervated by the dorsal cervical rami. This error is repeated in Chapter 1, table 2. Second, on page 31, the O'Brien test interpretation is described exactly opposite of the original description by O'Brien. A SLAP lesion gives pain in the pronated position, not the supinated position as described. Read with caution.
