Description
Every doctor and therapist should own evidence-informed Orthopedic Assessment – a compact reference guide with practical content and supportive images designed to be used during practice and in the classroom.
‘Don’t guess, Assess.” – Every therapist and doctor should own evidence-informed Orthopedic Assessment, designed as a quick reference guide for students, instructors and healthcare providers. Orthopedic Assessment is a companion book for the Orthopedic Conditions Manual, Muscle Manual and Physical Medicine Manual.
This text bridges the gap between academics and practical application. Information sources include: original research articles with cutting-edge information, 1000s of cadaver dissections & decades of evidence-based, multidisciplinary clinical experience. We also demo with different sized practitioners to show variation in biomechanics and gender application (5ft/100lbs female vs. 6ft/170lbs male).
The book’s size allows for better functional use and cost-effectiveness. This text is supported by 1000s of student, clinician & instructor resources, videos, quizzes & patient handouts available on prohealthsys.com (palpation, muscle testing, orthoneuro tests, CE seminars and more).
‘Assessment is therapeutic’ – your application of skills helps to create a more accurate list of potential pathology, treatment options and relationship of trust and confidence with your patients – this text will help establish you as the expert you are.

Students, Instructors and Practitioners ❤ Orthopedic Assessment Textbook
“I have been in practice and teaching for over 30 years and have found no resources more useful than what Professional Health Systems offers – I require their texts for my classes.”
— Dr. Daniel DeLapp, DC, Lac, ND – USA
“I was a very good examiner, diagnostician and provided very good care to my patients and students. However, since I have purchased your book by curiosity, I have been better at what I do, and your manuals have become excellent tools to my practice. So thank you for the effort and excellent work and I will continue to support you!”
— Dr. Viet Nguyen
