Dedication
Dedicated to Dr. Raheela Kanwal.
John F. Kennedy once said
“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction”.
We thank Dr. Raheela Kanwal for encouraging us
to write this manual and giving us the right direction.

Forward to the first edition
The authors are to be congratulated on being able to compile a manual
pertaining to the Musculoskeletal Examination & Assessment and
taking an initiative so as to work specifically on an important physical
therapy Specialty. The field is almost as old as Pakistan itself but the
standard of the whole field has grown almost out of recognition for last
10 years. Latterly this coming together has been largely due to their
untiring efforts & based on "prove it or lose it" approach.
This book indeed, is a masterpiece, since it will be of great help for
learning Clinical Skills in Musculoskeletal Physical therapy. Speaking
specifically, it is a good step to uplift the profession as a whole & help
the physical therapy students find relevant data with ease.
In our profession knowledge, skills and opportunities have increased
substantially. It is wonderful to see these six authors, making such an
excellent job of putting together their contribution & introducing a
clinical-based manual to the field for the first time in Pakistan. The
coming generation needs to continue this trend; it won't all happen
quickly but this start is excellent. The text is appropriate for the
undergraduate, postgraduate and the practicing therapist who are
working specifically in the Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy.

Preface
This book is an initiative & resultant of the apprehension & right direction
provided by our respected teacher Dr.Raheela Kanwal. As it is well said that "A
Dream is that which does not let you sleep", this book is like a dream come true.
It addresses specifically to Musculoskeletal Assessment & Examination & is
first publication for physical therapists written by physiotherapy students.
This book contains very precise & well organized material with well-defined
points to collect during patient examination. Assessment segments are divided
regionally, starting from spine down to the extremities. Shoulder, Hip & Knee
are of special concern; so, dealt in more detail.
We hope that readers will find this updated text a useful resource for their
everyday clinical practice & it will be of a great help to undergraduates & post-
graduates.
