Set against the backdrop of the functional anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, this book focuses on the clinical examination of the patient and the interpretation of examination findings. Special emphasis is placed on the seamless application of the reading into practice: the relevant clinical tests are presented in an understandable manner for students and for physicians and physiotherapists who are still inexperienced in examining the musculoskeletal system. The "how to do" is described with pedagogical precision. Excellent visual material illustrates the practical execution and simplifies the interpretation of possible test results.
