The Fundamentals of the Shoulder: Practical Evaluation and Management of the Shoulder - available free of charge.

Back in 1994, four of us published a book entitled Practical Evaluation and Management of the Shoulder, a book that has become a classic. It contains the original descriptions of overstuffing, concavity compression, the Simple Shoulder Test, and the principals shoulder motion, strength, stability and smoothness. It contains printable new patient evaluation and followup forms. It is illustrated by the highly descriptive Steve Lippitt diagrams. In that it is now out of print, many have asked how they might get a copy. I'm pleased to be able to provide a free PDF of the book in its entirety: click here.
