    Teaching medicine is my passion. I have been fortunate enough to have trained with some of the best Sports physicians on the planet - Joe Feinberg, Gerry Malanga, and the late Scott Nadler to name just a few. Their attention to detail has inspired me to want to educate those that have followed. My next big work will hopefully help the aspiring sports practitioner to challenge what they know and seek out the right answer every time.

This book was a gift for a friend who is an RN in a regional hospital in Arizona. Here are her comments:

"Our ER out here in cowboy country sees lots of seasonal rodeo injuries. This little book is a good, quick reference for our permanent staff, as well as medical students and residents rotating through. I especially like chapter 6, Spinal Chord Injury Exam, and the references and resources at the back. Thanks!"

I ordered this book to use on a PM&R rotation in my 4th yr of med school and it was very helpful! The book has short descriptions and picture guides to all the musculoskeletal tests for each joint and/or muscle group.

The only thing I should was lacking was the innervation and nerve roots listed along with the tests. Sometimes there where listed, but not always. I suppose you can find it else where in the book.

Overall, nice pocket-sized book full of information to help out with any MSK or Neuro exam.

Full of useful and relevant revision tips - it helps to have a more in-depth knowledge in the first place but I use this 2-3 times a week.
Good for more manual based practices - great surface and quick glance anatomy pictures too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Für den Preis eher enttäuschend ..
Reviewed in Germany on March 8, 2013

Habe das Buch wegen der recht guten englischen Rezensionen gekauft, aber wieder zurückgeschickt. Für den beachtlichen Preis bekommt man ein sehr schmales Büchlein (sicher für die Kitteltasche geeignet), in dem verschiedene Tests zur Untersuchung von Muskeln und Gelenken eher knapp beschrieben werden.

Mein Tipp: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/044306945X/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_6

Wesentlich umfangreicher, als Extra mit Studienergebnissen für Sensitivität und Spezifität für alle Tests!
