Awesome ... for a few body parts.
Pros:
Slim and lightweight - I keep it at work, well organized, simple test descriptions with pics, all stats included.
Cons:
Expensive for a limited range of PT diagnoses, a lot of 'fluff' and filler - it prob could've been half the size.

Bottom line:
Good if you create your own evals because you can add these 'random' tests to your special testing section and have a 95% chance of correctly diagnosing your pt in half the time if they meet the criteria.Also good for differential diagnosis of non-musculoskeletal disorders.As an intern, I've found it useful in predicting manip success, but I haven't used it for much else yet.

This is a great PT reference book.
This is a very good book.It basically summarizes all PT related clinical prediction rules and puts them all in one book for you.It discusses clinical prediction rule in regards to evaluation, treatment and prognosis.There is also a nice section on the stats that are commonly used with interpretation of the rules.Each rule is broken down and gives the level of evidence, the components of the rule, if you rule has been validated, etc.The only downfall of the book, in my opinion, is that when it gives the stats, the author uses terms such as mild, moderate, etc., instead of giving the actual number value or percentage of the stat.Overall very satisfied with the book.great learning tool. ...

geriatric pt
This is a great resource, although a bit outdated. For a student, like myself, it's written in easy to read terms, not so dry it puts you to sleep like some other texts. I would like to find a newer edition of this book. The condition of the book was new - I don't think anyone ever opened the book up. Thank you to the seller. ... Read more
