"The fifth edition of this text returns with several updated and
additional features. As per previous editions it is the
collaboration of international experts within the field of the
Maitland Concept. The layout reflects their application of the
Maitland Concept, detailing evidence-based practise, clinical
reasoning and the integration of the Maitland techniques of passive
mobilisations. Chapters are not technique driven, but rather entail
the whole approach with the patient's needs at the primary
focus.
The book begins with an overview of the Maitland Concept as a
clinical practise framework and its evidence-based practise, giving
the reader the basis of this method of thinking and setting the
scene of the following chapters. The main body then it goes on to
provide a "masterclass" for each of the major peripheral joints
including the craniomandibular, shoulder and shoulder girdle,
elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, and foot and ankle joints.
Chapters are systematically organised covering the subjective
history, latest up-to-date evidence, physical examination,
treatment techniques and concludes with case studies to demonstrate
the practical use of the methods. All chapters begin with a
clinical evidence table for each condition associated with that
joint. This table is an excellent clinical reasoning tool that
demonstrates how each part of your assessment would match symptoms
of this condition. Joint anatomy and common conditions are then
detailed, as well as conditions not to be missed, or
misinterpreted. The rest of the chapter then continues to integrate
a strong evidence-base with decision-making provocation
interspersed throughout.
Although the mobilisation techniques are the central management
option within the chapters, the book also supports and enhances
other strategies such as recovery of motor control, restoration of
normal neurodynamics, physical reconditioning and patient
education. Clear diagrams and photographs detail anatomy and manual
techniques in adjunct to the text and are accompanied by regular
breakout boxes to summarise each section and highlight important
facts.
The fifth edition is associated for the first time, with a
companion website which provides online access to resources
including a video and image bank, case studies, multiple choice
questions (MCQs) and four bonus chapters. The videos, covering many
assessment and treatment techniques, MCQs, and downloadable
reflection forms provide an excellent interactive study tool in
adjunct with the text chapters. The image bank allows access to all
book images and would be useful for teaching and presentation
purposes.
Overall this text would be an excellent resource to any practising
physiotherapist or health professional within musculoskeletal and
orthopaedics from the new graduate to the experienced clinician. It
is concise, clear to follow and covers each subject extensively
with evidence-based practise to accompany manual techniques. A must
have for enhancing clinical practise."
