Professional Review:
Newly updated, this full-color resource offers a systematic approach to performing a neuromusculoskeletal assessment with rationales for various aspects of the assessment. This comprehensive text covers every joint of the body, head and face, gait, posture, emergency care, the principles of assessment, and preparticipation evaluation. The latest edition of this core text is the essential cornerstone in the new four-volume musculoskeletal rehabilitation series.

  • Thorough, evidence-based content provides the information and detail you need to select the best diagnostic tests.
  • Extensively updated information incorporates the latest research and most current practices.
  • Case Studies help you apply what you learn from the book to real life situations.
  • Tables and boxes throughout the text organize and summarize important information and highlight key points.
  • Chapter Summaries review the assessment procedures for each chapter to help you find important information quickly.
  • Case Histories in each chapter demonstrate assessment skills to help you apply them in practice.


  • Reliability and validity of tests and techniques included throughout help you choose assessment methods supported by current evidence.
  • A new full-color design clearly demonstrates assessment methods, a variety of tests, and causes of pathology.
  • A Companion CD-ROM with all of the references from the text linked to MedLine abstracts reinforces concepts from the book.
  • Primary Care Assessment chapter includes the latest information on the constantly evolving state of physical therapy practice.
  • Includes the most current information on the assessment of the cervical spine, hip, posture, and foot and ankle to keep you up to date on current methods of practice.

User Reviews:
 Rating 4   Written on March 20, 2003
   Summary: Good Text
Offers all the standard special tests that you could ask for, and a whole wack of other unproven diagnsotic tests. Doens't really provide evidence for many of the special tests listed, or the psychometric properties (such as specificity, sensitivity, reliability etc) which are necessary for evidence based practice. Third edition was somewhat more concise and didnt include a lot of the "useless" diagnostic tests which appear in the lateset edition and only serve to confuse the reader.

   Summary: best for exams
we use this physical assessment textbook as our guide for any special exam/test. so complete you will not be able to swallow the whole of it

 Rating 5   Written on June 29, 2000
   Summary: Foundational Text for Physical Therapy, and Orthopedics
Excellent in all respects. Should be a core text in all Physical Therapy Programs. Head and shoulder above other texts of its kind. The authors have remained current with every edition. A great reference for orthopedic residents as well.

 Rating 5   Written on August 13, 1998
   Summary: A comprehensive, "must have" reference
Magee's text is the most comprehensive, practical text covering diagnosis and evaluation of orthopedics I've found. I recommend it without reservation to anyone involved in neuro-musculo-skeletal examination and diagnosis, including athletic trainers, sports medicine specialists, primary care physicians, physiatrists, and physical therapists.

OPA is organized to include applied anatomy, patient history, detailed examination techniques (including all the eponymous tests), diagnostic imaging, and case studies for each joint of the body. Also included are chapters on Gait, Posture, Emergency Sports Assessment, and Preparticipation Examination.

From a physician's viewpoint, the text lacks only a discussion of therapeutic approaches. However, these hinge fundamentally on the physical diagnosis and lie more in the realm of physical therapists.
