“This is the most comprehensive book ever written on the physical examination of the shoulder. It covers every aspect of the topic and supports the presentation with the best evidence currently available. … The audience is any clinician who performs a physical examination for shoulder problems. This includes primary care doctors, sports medicine specialists, athletic trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, and orthopedic surgeons whether they are still in training or well established in practice.” (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
