Product Description

Review
Manual Therapy Journal; Raymond Swinkels

This little and handy book is very innovative, because it summarizes material in a way that it is not published before. This is a key book within the physiotherapy, in particular for physiotherapists working in countries where there is direct access for patients.

Product Description
Serious pathology accounts for only 1% of back pain in the general population, however, if you work within musculoskeletal medicine, at some stage, you will see a patient with serious pathology. Red Flags is the essential guide to correctly identifying and acting on warning signs when a therapist becomes suspicious of serious pathology in a patient presenting with back pain. This handy pocketbook offers practical strategies for developing clinical reasoning so that therapists are able to distinguish between Red Flags and Red Herrings along the patient journey, and have greater confidence in their diagnosis.

Drawing on their years of experience and personal case studies, Greenhalgh and Selfe, present a truly innovative guide. They introduce:

  • a hierarchy of Red Flags
  • an 'Index of Suspicion'
  • thoughts on Red Herrings
  • a model of 3D thinking
  • the consideration of conditional probabilities

    4.0 out of 5 stars Handy little book!!, 5 April 2006
    By M. J. Simpson "Claire Guy" (Oxford) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    The book has a grading system of red flags according to the severity of condition which is very useful and enables a quick glance inorder to decide on the importance of what has been discovered. When reading the book I kept coming across many points/ 'tips' that I had not come across before.

    The book will be very useful for students/ Junior Physiotherapists as it is very clear and also has some case studies which are annotated giving a clear explanation of the clinical reasoning for different red flags. It will also be very useful for Senior Physiotherapists and be great as a departmental book to allow a quick glance for the more unusal red flags.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable reference, 13 April 2006
    By Emma (U.K) - See all my reviews
    This is a great book. It's small enough to be easily transported but packed with usefull, essential information. Ideal for any medical field including physiotherapy. The case study examples are realistic and the text is easy to understand and follow. Well worth the read.
