Product Description

Review
The book has many strengths: it is written in an organised, logical user-friendly format with excellent accompanying graphics, giving detailed and precise descriptions in clear language. At the end of each chapter is an extensive reference list should the reader wish to explore particular topics in more detail. Written by a highly experienced manipulative therapist, this book would be a valuable guide to students and clinicians of various disciplines (including physiotherapists, manual therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths) involved in the mangement of neuromusculoskeletal dysfuncition. I cannot reccomend this text highly enough: I personally found its earlier edition invaluable as a student during practical exams and clinical placements. For those seeking more extensive information on treatment options Petty's earlier text, Principles of Neuromusculoskeletal Treatment and Management- A guide for Therapists, serves as an excellent companion.
Physical Therapy Reviews, December 2006

It brings together as one process the examination and assessment of the structures involved: joints, nerve and muscle tissue. Each section follows the same logical, step by step sequence of illustrations and text. The book is designed for use by manual therapists requiring to identify and assess clinical problems in this area, whether student or clinician.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic aid, 20 Mar 2001
This review is from: Neuromusculoskeletal Examination and Assessment: A Handbook for Therapists (Paperback)
I found this book on the shelf at Waterstones and knew it was a book I'd been looking for for ages. As a second year massage therapist student(soon to study osteopathy) I've been reading G D Maitland's Periferal Manipulation & Vertebral Manipulation as a diagnostic help. In this book the authors (who quote Maitland extensively and as he says in the foreword of this book) 'have brought together a field that has grown almost out of recognition over the last 50 years'. For every joint there is a comprehensive set of tests and assessment techniques to evaluate soundly and confidently; with excellent photographic, clear & concise illustrations (unlike the Maitland books which are pencil drawn and not as clear)and step by step procedure it really is a fantastic aid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly Recommended, 29 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Unquestionably this book is core reading material for assisting students and newly qualified therapists alike. Its systematic and logical approach clearly guides the reader through step by step without any complications. Many of my physio colleagues can only praise the author for this and all her other editions. The subjective and physical examination chapters sufficiently contain all the necessary criteria for the initial and follow up assessments with comprehensive literature and illustrations. The extensive use of photographic images for every joint test and assessment technique not only visually stimulates the reader, but also makes it so much easier to perform the techniques. The appealing presentation and layout suggest the book is very reader friendly and is one of the better therapy publications on the market.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't include Muscle tests!, 7 Jul 2006
By Mr. Ross Kettle "BSc Sports Therapy Student" (Portsmouth, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read the synopsis for this book and was lead to believe that this would help me prepare for my practical examination and assessment of lower limb injuries. It didn't, it contains absolutely no information on manual muscle testing!!!! which is one of the core parts of examination and assessment. All the book does is refer you to other books with the muscle tests in them, in every chapter!! i was thoroughly dissapointed and am now going to have to spend another 30 pounds getting a book that includes the muscle tests.
Waste of money

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Repetitive
The chapters are repetitive. The book gives you an idea of how to assess without going into specific details about why we do what we do and what to do with our findings.
