Key Features
--UNIQUE! Video clips on the companion Evolve website showcase techniques involving muscle tests, handheld dynamometry, sensory and neurologic testing, clinician and patient positioning, and force application.
--Chapter 6: Techniques of Pediatric Muscle Testing covers the different techniques for manual infant muscle testing that help determine prognosis and treatment.
--Consistent chapter layout and organization by joint and muscle system allow you to quickly and easily locate the information you need.
--Instructions for performing hand-held dynamometry of major trunk and extremity muscles are clear and concise to ease your comprehension.
--Chapter on functional muscle testing demonstrates positioning, examiner instructions, and expected response for patients of all ages.
--Detailed neurologic exam instructions with photos help you perform accurate screening and interpret exam results.
--Coverage of techniques such as gravity-resisted testing and gravity-eliminated testing clearly shows you how to perform alternative methods of manual muscle testing.
--Hundreds of photos and illustrations demonstrate various techniques and landmarks to give you a clear understanding of positioning, stabilization, and common substitutions.
--Clinical notes highlight useful information about particular symptoms or conditions that you may encounter in practice.
--Case vignettes challenge you to apply your knowledge to real-world situations and think creatively about clinical problems.
--Overview of normal gait cycle serves as a resource for identifying gait deviations and associated muscle weaknesses.
--Evaluation of current research methods addresses the validity, reliability, and limitations of muscle testing techniques.
--Companion Evolve website contains additional, up-to-date information on this topic, such as pediatric data on the hand-held dynamometer.

New to This Edition
--UNIQUE! New video clips on the companion Evolve website demonstrate a screening examination of the cranial nerves, a screening examination of the motor portions of the cranial nerves, and additional pediatric dynamometry tests.
--EXPANDED! Chapter on techniques of functional muscle testing offers additional tests with proven validity for clients with higher level functioning, such as athletes.
--UPDATED! Chapter on handheld dynamometry for muscle testing features coverage of pediatric dynamometry not found in other texts.
