We are pleased to offer with Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Second Edition, this online access for student and professional resources. At this site you will find many of the special element features included in the text, provided in an easily reproducible format that can be printed by students to use as study guides during laboratory and review sessions. These resources can also be used by course and clinical instructors as teaching aids or as proficiency checklists for oral or practical examinations to assess student mastery. The Student Resources include forms and tables useful both for student learning and practice and for professional examination and record keeping. Although permission is not granted to reproduce the color slides of skin conditions, they may be viewed online to assist students in learning how to differentiate one condition from another.
The resources contained on this Web site include the following elements:
- Examination Checklists for each examination procedure (on-site, acute, and clinical) and body region to assist students in practicing and reviewing a systematic approach to injury examination. They can be downloaded and printed for use as study and review aids for students and as professional resources for practicing ATCs.
- Range of Motion Examination Tables for each joint are provided to assist students in practicing and reviewing their goniometric examination techniques. For each range of motion to be tested, the table highlights the placement of the goniometer, the movement to be performed, and the expected range of motion.
- Strength Examination Tables for each joint are provided to assist students in practicing and reviewing their manual muscle testing techniques. For each motion, the table indicates the athlete position, stabilizing and resistance hand placements, instructions to athlete, and primary muscles tested.
- Neurological Examination Tables are provided for the cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral plexuses, and include sensory, motor, and reflex distributions, and examination procedures.
- Normal End Feels Table provides definitions of end feel terminology.
- Color Plates of Dermatological Conditions are provided to complement the black and white photos of dermatological conditions included in chapter 23. We recognize that dermatological conditions are sometimes difficult to differentiate from one another in black and white, so the original color versions are provided for online viewing to help students and professionals better visualize each condition. Permission is not granted to download or copy these images.
Whether you are a student working to master your examination strategies, an instructor looking for excellent instructional and testing aids, or a professional who is searching for innovative resources, we hope you will find the materials on this Web site to be indispensable in developing and maintaining confidence and skills; and for recording findings in the examination process. This Web site will remain available to you until a subsequent edition becomes available.
