Summary:
"We continue to highlight the practical integration of evidence into practice. Updated information regarding the clinical usefulness of selective tissue tests and other examination techniques is presented in the associated boxes using a standardized format. Most notable, perhaps, is how little continues to be known about the validity and reliability of some of the commonly used techniques. We have added multiple new techniques that have promising or established diagnostic value. The values we present are dynamic and are not intended to supplant current systematic reviews or meta-analyses"-- Provided by publisher.
