About this product: This book is the first to truly demonstrate benefit, by using a test and measure for screening or for diagnostic confirmation, which shows appropriate diagnostic accuracy, is free from bias, and should be reproducible and effective for the condition and clinical environment at hand. Since for some orthopedic clinicians, the statistical terminology may be unfamiliar, chapter one is essentially a user’s guide for the book. Additional chapters include: Neurological and Structural Differentiation Testing , Special Clinical Tests of the Hip, and Special Clinical Tests of the Lower Leg, Ankle and Foot. For ease of access, the tests are listed in each chapter according to pathoanatomical classification and ordered in a descending fashion, from best to worst, based on their “Utility Score”.

About this product: Whitney Lowe's new book belongs in the library of every massage therapist who deals with chronic or acute pain. Lowe sets the foundation by reviewing information concerning soft tissue dysfunction as it pertains to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, fascia, nerves, cartilage, and bursa. Next, he proceeds to delineate a systematic approach to orthopedic assessment and treatment, with detailed information regarding clinical skills (using observation, palpation, range of motion and resistance testing, and special orthopedic tests as well as taking a thorough client history). The text emphasizes the use of assessment for the purpose of ascertaining appropriate massage therapy treatment plans (including when it is best to refer out for diagnosis). Lowe includes a discussion of general soft tissue disorders, such as strains, trigger points, and tendinosis, but the heart of the book deals with specific parts of the body (e.g., foot, ankle, & leg; knee & thigh; hip & pelvis; lumbar & thoracic spine; cervical spine; and shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand) along with common pathologies that the massage therapist is likely to encounter. Within each section, Lowe includes charts such as muscles and actions, joints and motions, regions of possible nerve entrapment, references for assessments, and trigger point referral patterns. In less than 300 pages, this book organizes a wealth of complex information. . . it can be read cover-to-cover but it will remain most useful as a resource book to be referred to repeatedly. NOTE: This book is one of two required texts for Whitney Lowe's new e-course (see www.OMERI.com for further information). The texts are resources used while working through realistic case studies and provocative "clinical questions." I had owned and valued the books before taking my first course, but I am now even more conscious of the scope and complexity of information contained. I cannot recommend the e-course too strongly to anyone interested in improving their clinical decision-making skills for use with clients who are in pain.
