The Pelvic Girdle : An

integration of clinical
expertise and research
 By
Diane G. Lee
Elsevier Health Sciences

The Pelvic Girdle continues to provide the busy clinician with the
latest evidence and clinical tools/knowledge to immediately impact
and enhance daily practice for the management of lumbopelvic-hip
pain and disability. This fourth edition has changed fundamentally
in presentation and content to provide the clinician with the
evidence and clinical tools for effective practice.

The new model presented in this edition - The Integrated Systems

Model and the Clinical Puzzle - co-developed by Diane Lee &
 Linda-Joy Lee, facilitates effective clinical reasoning, hypothesis
development and prescriptive treatment. It is highly unlikely that
there will ever be enough research evidence to mee the needs of a
clinician who is faced with patients presenting with a wide and
variable range of single and multiple impairments every day.
Clinical expertise (knowing how to do the right thing at the right
time) comes from disciplined, reflective practice and it is hoped that
this text will help more clinicians become expert in this field.

Presents an evidence-based approach to the examination, diagnosis

and treatment of the lumbopelvic region
Easy to read and clinican friendly
Demonstrates how clinicians can translate knowledge derived from
scientific research into clinical practice and also use knowledge
gained from clinical practice to evaluate the relevance of the
scientific research
Highly illustrated descriptions of tests and techniques for practice
The author team - Diane Lee, Linda-Joy Lee and Andry Vleeming -
all have international reputations as clinicians and researchers
