Overview

This comprehensive text contains up-to-date information for the orthopaedic examination of the locomotor apparatus. In addition to the well-known techniques of the musculoskeletal examination, it also describes the diagnostic techniques used in manual medicine. The numerous examinations are carried out according to five clearly defined examination stages, which are the same for each joint, and which allow a systematic examination to be made of the individual joint structures for functional disorders or disruptive effects (functional structural analysis). The examination is thus logically organized according to an outline, and the indications for each stage are based on the results of the previous stage and the summary of the functionally related body regions. The function tests take into account the state-of-the-art in biomechanics, and the symptoms requiring radiologic functional diagnosis are depicted. The systematized and streamlined examination procedure makes it possible to obtain and document results in a uniform manner.
