Rating:  - Enlightening
This book presented a thourough systemic look at the body. it was helpful in presenting systemic casues to musculoskeletal complaints. The section on evaluation and background was great. It has enlightened my mind to be aware of possible causes to people's pain
Rating: - PT differential diagnosis
An excellent preparation for a thorough examination of the patient to rule out non-musculoskeletal disorders. Good material organization and readable text with a lot of cross referencing and case studies. Highly recommend
Rating: - important and clinically useful info...
This book is an eye opener! It was a required text as part of my tDPT program and I have used it many times since for other courses and for clinical assistance, too. I've learned far more about signs/symptoms which would indicate systemic problems vs the type of ortho problem the patient was referred to PT for initially. Very helpful text...should be on every PT's shelf.
Rating: - Differential Diagnosis - prescription: must reading
Goodman and Snyder have compiled a very readable text on differential diagnosis. There are numerous illustrations and tables to augment the text. Important concepts are presented several times to reinforce their importance to the reader. This text would be a valuable addition to any physical therapist's library, especially those therapists who routinely receive "evaluate and treat" referrals from nonspecialists.
Rating:  - PT
Catherine Goodman provides physical therapists with a valuable reference to be utilized in the differential diagnosis of patients. She has developed easy to follow tables and charts that help the therapist identify alternate sources of pain and dysfunction that should be analyzed when patients don't get better in the usual manner. Well organized and easy to you. A must own for every clinic.
