Now I've used it for PT student interns in the clinic and it has been a good resource for them to use. I like how I'm each body part there is information to help with differential diagnosis and talks about different test clusters. Review: An Essential Reference - Best ortho exam text since Hoppenfeld; a good companion to Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy. Just amazing so much useful knowledge so well organized and digestible. Check if your treating physician has this text yet. I am a physician, recently retired.
