These included the spine, shoulder, elbow, hand, hip, knee, foot and ankle examinations. They are adequate for medical student level OSCE examinations and general practitioner level. An systematic approach to each joint examination is illustrated as well as attention to the specific provocative tests.

    Virtues and values in medicine revisited: individual and global health
    (2014) Benatar, S; Upshur, R
    In response to the call from an international panel for 'much needed rethinking' about the goals and purposes of the education of healthcare professionals, we suggest that there must be an explicit account of the virtues and values that will inform healthcare practice in the 21st century. We propose that a renewed emphasis is needed on reviving the well-honed clinical skills and humanistic attributes in medicine as crucial for optimum affordable (and sustainable) care of individual patients. Analogous virtues should be linked to the quest for improving the health of whole populations, nationally and globally.
