"The best overall muscle testing book."
By far the most popular and widely used text for over 50 years, Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing is the original handbook of manual evaluation of muscular strength. In addition to offering tried and true methods for assessing and grading skeletal muscle function, this up-to-date classic provides a comprehensive section on muscle anatomy and innervation that rounds out the testing chapters by linking muscle topography and function. Beautifully illustrated with more than 575 high-quality drawings,
Features
* Over 575 figures, many in color, illustrate the steps in each test as well as muscle anatomy and innervation.
Sequential procedures for testing muscles innervated by cranial nerves are covered in complete detail-a topic not fully described in any other source.
A synopsis of anatomy and muscle innervation allows readers to review muscle topography and function.
Identification of each muscle by a consistent reference number speeds cross-referencing and helps readers quickly identify any muscle in the body.
Helpful Hints offer detailed suggestions for ensuring greater accuracy in testing.
Substitutions boxes highlight muscle substitutions that may occur as a specific test progresses.
Special sidebars provide additional background information on muscle testing related to the topics at hand.
Clear, concise writing makes accurate muscle testing more understandable and puts the reader right into the test situation.
* Extensive reviews by some of the country's top physical therapists, anatomists, kinesiologists, and physicians ensure the accuracy and timeliness of chapter material.
What's New
* An updated new design organizes information into an easy-to-use format that makes it more accessible than ever.
New cross-section drawings of limbs and shoulder-chest areas enhance palpation of muscles and provide another perspective on muscle size and location.
An entirely new chapter on infants, toddlers, and preschool children (chapter 6), with over 40 new illustrations, offers a fresh approach to this challenging area.
* A revised anatomy section features over 50 new anatomic drawings and cross-sections.
