Description
The second edition of this highly respected and well-established guide to lower limb examination and assessment provides completely revised and comprehensive coverage of the subject. Bringing together a range of leading clinical experts to examine the stages which must be gone through to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, "Assessment of the Lower Limb" contains, clearly and conveniently in one authoritative volume, a unique holistic view of the subject with many photographs and line drawings to supplement the text, and case studies to illustrate the theory. The problems of differential diagnosis are explained and supported by descriptions of the most common pathologies. The extensive updating for this new edition takes into account developments in the subject at undergraduate level and ensures that students, newly qualified podiatrists, physiotherapists and all those involved in the diagnosis of foot problems have at their disposal a thoroughly modern text which will continue to be their indispensable diagnostic guide.
With its logical and accessible structure, "Assessment of the Lower Limb" will also be invaluable to trainee general practitioners, medical students working in rheumatology, diabetology and orthopaedics, sports therapists and sports medicine trainees.
