A diagnostic guide focusing on the evaluation and localization of nerve root lesions throughout the body. It systematically details specific neurologic levels (C5 to S4) in both the upper and lower extremities, covering testing methods for motor power, sensation, and reflexes, along with clinical applications for conditions such as herniated cervical discs and osteoarthritis.
Now in its Fifth Edition, this Photographic Manual of Regional Orthopaedic and Neurologic Tests describes in step-by-step fashion how to perform these tests. Each chapter begins with a decision tree of the orthopaedic examination of an anatomic area, followed by a brief description of the anatomic area, usually with an accompanying drawing. The presentation of each test begins with a clinical description and a box of clinical signs and symptoms, followed by a brief description of the procedure with a photograph demonstrating the position of the clinician and the patient. The author then presents a brief rationale for the test and suggests diagnostic imaging procedures where appropriate. An accompanying DVD demonstrates a typical examination.
