Book Synopsis
Newly updated, Cram Session in Goniometry and Manual Muscle Testing: A Handbook for Students & Clinicians, Second Edition is a descriptive quick reference guide for rehabilitation professionals organized in a “head-to-toe” format, including more than 400 photographs and supplemented with concise and illustrative examples of various techniques.

The new edition of this text maintains the original essence of the first edition while touching upon updated information to speak to new clinicians. Minor revisions, such as adding color to the headers and to the sections, allow the reader easier access to the topics. An expanded appendix and up-to-date content touch on newer technology being used and developed in these areas of clinical evaluation.

What is in your Cram Session:
  • In the Goniometry section, subdivisions are broken down into type of joint, capsular pattern, average range of motion for each movement, patient positioning, goniometric alignment, patient substitutions, and alternative methods of measurement.
  • In the Manual Muscle Testing section, subdivisions are broken into the specific movement to be tested, average range of motion, prime movers of the movement, secondary movers of the movement, anti-gravity patient position, gravity minimized patient position, stabilization and grades, substitutions for the movement, and points of interest for that particular muscle group.
Cram Session in Goniometry and Manual Muscle Testing: A Handbook for Students & Clinicians, Second Edition is an informative, well-organized handbook for all students, instructors, and clinicians in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, orthopedics, or any allied health professional who treats musculoskeletal disorders.
