This practical guide is a unique and concise presentation of common clinical signs important in the diagnosis and management of a variety of orthopedic and neurologic conditions. With the advent and expansive use of sophisticated technology, the skill needed to utilize and investigate these signs is in danger of being lost.
Each chapter presents the anatomy, function, and clinical signs for a number of musculoskeletal and neurologic injuries and conditions, including the median and ulnar nerve, lesions of the axillary and supraclavicular nerve, scapular winging, the medial hamstring reflex, lumbosacral radiculopathy, and more. The topics are discussed with quick, high yield points and plentiful figures, tables and photographs of the underlying anatomy, signs and tests. Through the text runs an emphasis on the idea that if you don't look for it, you won't find it, along with a number of „aha“ moments gleaned from the author's extensive experience as a practicing clinician and medicolegal resource.
