About the book
ACCURATE DIAGNOSTICS, NO TIME WASTED
Introducing "The Comprehensive Handbook of Clinical Tests in Physiotherapy": Your digital TOOL for fast, reliable, and evidence-based physical therapy assessments.
Have you ever found yourself in this situation?
A patient walks into your clinic with complex hip pain. A dozen potential diagnoses are racing through your mind: Is it a lumbar spine issue? The sacroiliac joint? Is it FAI (Femoroacetabular Impingement) or perhaps bursitis?
Which of the 50 possible tests should you choose to be quick, yet certain you haven’t missed a thing? How much precious time do you spend leafing through literature and drafting reports instead of focusing on what matters most – the therapy itself?
Those days are over.
A Revolution in Your Clinical Practice: More Than Just a Book, It’s Your Digital Assistant
"The Comprehensive Manual of Clinical Tests in Physiotherapy" isn't just another resource to read and leave on the shelf. It is an interactive ecosystem for clinical assessment, designed to be your daily partner. Our philosophy is simple: knowing the tests isn't enough; the key is knowing which ones to choose, when to apply them, and how to connect the results into a meaningful diagnosis.
This manual teaches you exactly that – the art of intelligent diagnostics.
What’s Inside? Your Toolkit for Clinical Excellence:
⭐ Over 790 pages
⭐ More than 170 clinical tests
⭐ Clinical clusters for over 30 common diagnoses
This is the heart of the handbook. For every diagnosis (from sciatica and frozen shoulder to sports injuries like ACL ruptures), you get a precise, evidence-based cluster of tests – including mandatory, differential, and supplementary options. We literally guide you step-by-step through the decision-making process.
🎥 Over 170 video demonstrations
Over 170 tests include a direct link to a private, secure video that demonstrates the correct technique in about 30 seconds. No more second-guessing whether you've performed a specific detail correctly. Learn visually; refresh your memory in an instant.
✍️ Over 170 interactive, fillable, and printable worksheets
Forget writing reports from scratch! For every test, you receive a professionally designed, fillable PDF form with ready-made parameters. Enter findings directly on your computer or tablet, save them to the patient’s digital file, or print them out. Your documentation has never been faster, clearer, or more professional.
📸 Nearly 400 high-quality photos
Each test is accompanied by photos clearly showing the starting and ending positions, as well as the therapist's proper grip and handling.
🧠 Advanced Functional and Sports Diagnostics
A specialized chapter dedicated to tests for dynamic balance (Y-Balance Test), strength (Hop Test), and core endurance (Sorensen, Plank) – essential for testing athletes and making informed "return-to-sport" decisions.
👶 Specialized Chapters
The handbook also includes dedicated sections on essential functional questionnaires (ODI, NDI, DASH...), the basics of neurological assessment (balance, tone, gait), and pediatric assessments (primitive reflexes, RDK).
