Rating:  - can do self diagnosis
If you are a medical layperson, you can use this book in a "self-diagnosis" mode, with very little risk. Several of the tests can be done by yourself. You have to understand enough of the medical jargon, which is mostly about anatomy. Straightforward. Keep in mind the title, "physical examination". The tests are all meant to be done by a doctor or nurse with mostly manual steps. No medical instruments.

Rating:  - Amazing book!
This book is so helpful. It turned my practical test scores around 100%. It is great for the visual learner!
Rating: - Classic, gold standard
There is only one Hoppenfeld. For what it is, it's the best. It's all diagnosis. Not a word on treatment. But it gives a good review of not just the physical exam but also the underlying anatomy and biomechanics. Two other books are worth getting.

Rating:  - Mediocre
The layout of the text is monotonous
The content is below average as compared
to many other physical exam texts, important
exam techniques like ober's test, acetabular
stress test, patrick's test etc are not
dealt with adequately
Poor buy
Rating: - Good book
Easy to read. A little too heavy on the biomechanics for my taste. I would have liked better pics. But good overall.
