Summary

Significantly revised and updated, the 2nd edition of Muscle and Sensory Testing incorporates precise anatomic testing techniques in a well-organized and easy-to-use format. It features a unique chapter on sensory testing, illustrations of gravity-resisted and gravity-eliminated positions for testing, and a chapter on using observational gait analysis as a screening tool for muscle testing. Photographs of testing procedures and line drawings are included; the line drawings of muscles are now enhanced to show innervations. This new edition also includes a DVD-ROM with valuable additional material. Instructor resources available; contact your sales representative for details. Provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions for manual muscle testing Superb illustrations help readers visualize how the test is to be performed Explains testing for trunk and extremity muscles an provides information on hand-held dynamometry Enhances knowledge on how to perform manual muscle testing on infants Presents an overview of the neurological screening exam, how to perform it, and how to interpret the results Provides the reader with a resource for gait deviations and associated muscle weakness Contains an evaluation of the most current research in the field of muscle testing Includes case studies and clinical notes in each chapter Features a new chapter on functional muscle testing Contains a companion DVD-ROM with muscle tests and techniques of sensory and neurologic testing Reorganizes the overall format of the text to coincide with the formatting used in Reese and Bandy's Joint Range of Motion and Muscle Length Testing Reflects the most current literature in the areas of manual muscle testing, pediatric muscle testing, hand-held dynamometry, the neurologic screening examination (including sensory testing), and gait Updates line drawings to include muscle innervations
