5.0 out of 5 stars Once again, Dec 6 2010

By S. Matthew - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Extremities, Cervical and Thoracic Spines, 1e (Hardcover)

Once again, Shirley Sahrmann presents a great work. I am an amateur interested in human anatomy and physical therapy, and this along with her first book are excellent resources for treating and learning about various common orthopedic ailments. A good knowledge of anatomy is required (I recommend "Anatomy of Movement". Of course, some people will criticize this work for buying in too much to the biomechanics model of pain rather than a CNS dominated model (Janda etc), and for ignoring biopsychosocial factors, but the author and associates experience suggests that correcting postural alignments can have a powerful effect on function. Two thumbs up!

This review is from: Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Extremities, Cervical and Thoracic Spines, 1e (Hardcover)

Shirley Sahrmann set out her theory of movement impairment in her first book in 2001. This was ground breaking work and has worked very well for me in cases of long term or insidious onset pain problems. She covered diagnosis of the shoulder/scapula, low back, and hip.

Shirley has now been joined by a very talented group of therapists/researchers to 1. fill in the acute injury diagnosis (done very simply and elegantly by identifying the part involved and then staging the point in the recovery), and 2. to establish diagnoses for the other areas of the body (neck, elbow, hand, thorax, knee, and ankle/foot.

The organization of the book is much improved with each area again getting it's own chapter, then each movement impairment is outlined with general guidelines for treatment included in an appendix after each chapter. The treatment guidelines are especially helpful since I find myself searching Sahrmann's first book through the body of the text when I need additional ideas for treatment.

Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Extremities, Cervical and Thoracic Spines, is a long awaited and very welcome addition to, not only Sahrmann's work, but to the field of physical therapy. We need a cogent, concise, and thorough approach to describing and organizing the various injuries, pains, and function impairments that we see; that is, a diagnostic system. These books are an excellent start.

This review is from: Movement System Impairment Syndromes of the Extremities, Cervical and Thoracic Spines, 1e (Hardcover)

As a strength and conditioning coach with a limited level of A&P, this book is a little over my head, and something that I have to study for a while before I get the information I need (i.e. not a reference). I use the book to understand what my customers PTs and/or Chiropractors diagnosis are. I think her other book, "Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes" is the right book for someone like me; however, if you can afford both they work pretty well together because there are several references in this book that refer to the earlier book.
