Hi.

What exactly are you looking for????

Have you tried a Medline search for research into the areas you seek?

Or are you trying to find out what other people do?

Or are you looking for "shortcuts" to assist you?

Most textbooks such as David Magee's Orthopaedic Physical Assessment has this information that you are seeking.

Click here for David Magee's Book

Please provide more information...

The much used "Stanley Hoppenfeld: Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities" is a very useful book, so is "Management of Common Musculoskeletal Disorders" by Randoph M Kessler and Darlene Herting, and the very detailed and comprehensive "Sports Injury Assessment and Rehabilitation" by David C.Reid, B.P.T., M.D.The last one is very useful, with great graphics and drawings etc, and as David Reid started out as a physiotherapist, it is always very relevent to our profession.
Is that what you wanted?
