The practical guide for a quick, easy, and cost-effective diagnosis of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. All relevant clinical tests are presented step by step in text and images: orientation tests, functional tests, stress tests, stability tests, tests for assessing postural disorders, venous thrombosis, arterial circulation, and central venous disorders. At the beginning of each chapter, orientation aids in the form of flowcharts are provided to help find the appropriate tests for the suspected diagnoses. The weighting and evaluation of all tests are included, as well as the derivation of possible diagnoses. New in the 5th edition: 18 new tests, completely revised and updated.
