Programmed examination of the musculoskeletal system

The fresh one - an indispensable practice companion for doctors and physiotherapists working in manual therapy! The textbook and reference work describes a comprehensive standardized examination program with detailed guidelines for the procedure and for all orthopedically and neurologically relevant test and diagnostic procedures. No questions remain unanswered: Each technique is clearly presented and optimally illustrated with design, findings and interpretation of findings, biomechanics, differential diagnoses, etc. Supplementary diagnostic procedures, e.g. with imaging methods or laboratory tests, are also presented. New in the 9th edition: Osteopathic therapy and its significance compared to manual therapy. Here those interested in further training will find an overview of the background and therapeutic principles of the various concepts (craniosacral, visceral and parietal osteopathy), criteria for the rational integration of osteopathic techniques in classical manual therapy, as well as information and decision-making aids for the wide range of training courses on offer.
