A comprehensive guide        supported by photos that demonstrate palpation techniques of surface        body landmarks, \u003ci\u003eClinical Guide to Musculoskeletal Palpation\u003c\/i\u003e        assists students and health care professionals in becoming proficient in        surface palpation techniques, which are a prerequisite for working in        the manual therapy professions.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       As working professionals and instructors with years of experience using        musculoskeletal palpation, Drs. Masaracchio and Frommer are in a unique        position to provide a guide that is both clinically oriented and user        friendly. For optimal readability and most direct delivery of its        content, the text divides the human body into regions instead of joints.        Bony and soft tissue structures are covered conjointly instead of        independently, allowing for better comprehension of anatomical        relationships and ultimately leading to improved clinical examination        skills.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Employing a step-by-step approach, \u003ci\u003eClinical Guide to Musculoskeletal        Palpation\u003c\/i\u003e describes each stage in using palpation as a key component        during a physical examination, covering the bony tissue, soft tissue,        and neurovascular structures of all body regions. Following are some key        features of this text:     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Regional body sections and bulleted text allow for easy reading and        enhanced comprehension.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Techniques are illustrated in a manner unique to clinical practice,        which facilitates student learning.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Each chapter contains pearls of information that promote an        appreciation for and acquisition of the inherent feel that is essential        for effective palpation.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Each chapter concludes with a case study presenting a common regional        clinical condition, providing readers the opportunity to integrate and        apply their new understanding and proficiency.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • The size and format allow the text to be durable and user friendly for        clinic and lab activities.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       All palpation techniques are presented with easy-to-follow instructions        that enable a complete command of the procedure. Anatomical artwork of        bony anatomy and soft tissue structures allows for visualization and        thus better comprehension of anatomical relationships. This approach        fosters a strong foundation that enhances clarity and application of        anatomical knowledge to optimize the development of palpation skills.
