Red Flags erkennen

Differential diagnostics in musculoskeletal practice
"Treat or send back to the doctor?" - physiotherapists are always faced with this decision when a patient's symptoms and signs do not clearly match a musculoskeletal complaint.
This book helps you to sharpen your eye for cases that cannot be treated physiotherapeutically.
In the introductory chapter, clinical reasoning expert Mark Jones gives basic tips and guidelines on screening and differential diagnosis in daily practice. In the second part, Harry von Piekartz and other specialists in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy present real patients in whom indications of dangerous situations and contraindications came to light during treatment. Christoff Zalpour, doctor and physiotherapist, then discusses each case from a medical point of view and provides further, practice-relevant information on the respective pathologies.
