 Not Enough August 22, 2000

The book appears to be well designed and reasonably comprehensive; however, I found it to have major flaws. First: there were numerous 'typos' that contributed to breaking up the continuity of the material. Also, when reading over material that is new, it is not a comforting feeling that what you are reading may easily be a typo. In addition, there were boxed-out special tests (I believe pg 264 is an example) that were either incorrect or the protocol was matched incorrectly with the test and its purpose. This is not good for someone just learning the trade. Second: after consideration, the information was not comprehensive enough. Items such as muscle strength grading, reflex grading, and others did not include pertinent information and a thorough enough grading criteria, etc etc. It left valuable information out and this has serious implications when treating for such things as head injury. For example, after reading the Starkey, one would not know that a particular reflexive state is associated with upper motor neuron lesions (I'll skip the particulars for brevity). In a nutshell, Magee's Orthopedic Physical Assessment is a MUCH better buy and I have found it to actually be a few dollars cheaper. Of course, the Hoppenfeld (the 'Green' book) is also a similar price and should be combined with the Magee book. I would not even have the Starkey text on my shelf and I certainly would not give it to a friend (or even an enemy). If athletic training is going to generate more respect for its occupation, then books such as the Starkey must be improved.

This book has one very strong point, its step-by-step guides for each and every physical examination. Each stress test discussed in this text in approached in a way that makes this book unique. Information including: position of athlete, position of examiner, evaluative procedure, positive test results, and implications are thuroughly explained for ease of application. This book is a worthwhile purchase for individuals in the sports medicine field.
