This companion book to Prentice's textbook provides clinicians with a handy quick reference to the 75 most common orthopaedic problems encountered in physical therapy practice. While Prentice's text serves students in the classroom and as a valuable reference, this book is one the student should carry into the clinic. In clinical orthopaedics, the clinician or student needs to combine knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to conduct the patient assessment, with a variety of treatment theory, to tackle the patient's problem. These subjects are seldom combined effectively in a single clinical reference; this will be the first reference book to combine all the elements of assessment and treatment in how-to format.
