Diagnosis and Treatment of the Lower Extremities: Nonoperative Orthopedic Medicine and Manual Therapy

Describes Winkel's pioneering method of examining patients, called selective tension. It involves applying tension in different ways to each separate structure from which the symptom could originate and correlating that information with a full history to localize the problem. It also identifies patients who have projected emotional problems into their moving parts. Manipulations are illustrated on feet that have internal structures drawn on the skin for reference. Translated and compiled from three books published in Dutch. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
