Long description:

Originally edited by Gregory Grieve, a founder of modern manual therapy, the fifth edition of Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy continues to offer contemporary evidence, models of diagnosis and practice that make this one of the most highly respected reference books for physiotherapists.

This edition has been fully updated to provide an overview of the latest science in a rapidly evolving field. It includes detailed directions for research-informed patient care for a range of musculoskeletal disorders, as well as up-to-date information on the global burden, research methodologies, measurements, and principles of assessment and management.

A new international editorial board, with experience in both research and clinical practice, bring a truly comprehensive perspective to this book, meaning those practising musculoskeletal physiotherapy today will find it highly clinically relevant to their work.

• Edited by an internationally recognised editorial board - brings expertise in both research and clinical practice

• Summary boxes and clinical tips to support clinical assessment and management
• More than 300 figures and illustrations

• Global burden of musculoskeletal disorders - including history, epidemiology and new models of care
• A range of new research methodologies, including N of 1 research designs, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, population-based cohort studies, consensus research and response analyses in musculoskeletal research
• How to navigate the endless wave of information and assess different levels of evidence
• New measures
• New chapter on cost analyses and value-based care
• Digital rehabilitation methods
