>>> CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT TECHNIQUES FOR THE LOWER EXTREMITY


This book was written in order to provide both students and teachers of Manual Therapy with access to a comprehensive source detailing assessment and treatment techniques for the lower limb.

The years we have dedicated to this book have seen tremendous advances in functional anatomy, biomechanics and rehabilitation. We have strived to incorporate the most recent research in order to make the techniques presented as contemporary as possible.

The text includes

• 560 pages with detailed assessment and treatment techniques for both basic and advanced levels of manual therapy, including grade V mobilisations.

• Almost 800 photographs illustrating the text.

• Pathology with related photographs, including lymphoedema, leg length discrepancy, tendon ruptures, bursal infection, neurological wasting, osteoarthritis, dislocations, congenital deformities, osteophytes, and others.

• Surface anatomy and bony anatomy.

• Biomechanical approach.

• Gait analysis.


Sample Page:

Passive Osteokinematic Test/ Inversion
Subtalar Joint Assesment

Joint: Subtalar joint

Technique: Passive Osteokinematic

Test/ Inversion Patient: Supine, lower leg supported on a towel with the foot unsupported over the edge of the table.

Therapist: Standing at the end of the table, facing the patient.

Palpation: Using the thenar eminence of the hand, palpate the medial apsect of the neck of the talus. Using the thenar eminence of the other hand, palpate the lateral aspect of the calcaneus, at the anterior subtalar joint line.

Assessment: Stabilise the talus. Passively invert the calcaneus about the appropriate axis. Note the quality and quantity of motion and the end feel. Compare with the opposite extremity.
