These tools include a systematic guide to the procedure involved (where relevant) and an explanation of the key findings and their significance for the physiotherapist. In the final section, individuals can apply their knowledge using case scenarios and suggested solutions are also provided. Part of the Physiotherapist’s Toolbox Series – unlock your key skills!
