Muscle and Sensory Testing, 5th Edition

• Photographs and illustrations demonstrate various techniques to help you better understand positioning, stabilization, and common substitutions. • Chapters follow a logical progression from muscle testing to sensory testing to gait assessment, making the learning process clear. • Chapters on dynamometry, sensory examination, neurologic examination, and gait provide you with additional need-to-know information on these key topics.
