[Preface] This book is the second volume in the "Neck, Shoulder, Back, and Leg Pain Diagnosis and Treatment Series." Examination is the foundation of clinical disciplines. Physicians specializing in neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain must master the methods and clinical significance of examinations in their field. Currently, there are few books in China that introduce examination methods for neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain. The various examinations in this specialty are often scattered across books on orthopedics, bone trauma, spinal and limb surgery, and soft tissue surgery, which brings inconvenience to scholars. We have referenced many books and combined our clinical experience to compile this specialized text. The purpose of this book is to strive for comprehensiveness, systematic organization, and conciseness, presenting examination methods for each part in a clinically practical order or position, and explaining their clinical significance. Special attention has been given to pain anamnesis, soft tissue system examinations, neurological examinations, and X-ray examinations during the writing process to meet the needs of clinical practice, teaching, and research, facilitating the study of physicians specializing in neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain. This book provides assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and therapeutic comparison of neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain conditions.
The book is divided into twelve chapters. Chapter 1 covers medical record writing for neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain; Chapter 2 is on general principles of examination; Chapter 3 is on traditional Chinese medicine examination for neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain; Chapters 4 to 12 respectively describe examinations of the head, neck, back, pelvis, and limbs. Each section generally includes physical examinations and imaging examinations. Physical examinations cover anamnesis, observation, palpation, percussion, auscultation, functional activity tests, relevant neurological examinations, common soft tissue examinations, and special test examinations. Imaging examinations include X-rays, CT, MRI, etc. With over 800,000 words and more than 1,000 illustrations, the book is rich in both text and visuals. It is widely referenced and highly practical, making it a valuable reference for physicians specializing in neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, orthopedics, massage therapy, radiology, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and related disciplines. We hope this book becomes a trusted guide and companion for fellow professionals and medical personnel in related fields. Due to our limited expertise, there may be errors or omissions in the book.
