Summary "The idea behind this manual was born from the need for a reference that would supply the clinician or student a snapshot view of the basics of manual muscle testing. This book is intended as a simple, user-friendly reference for the experienced clinician or student. The text is organized by body region in a "head-to-toe" format to make it easier and more efficient to locate a specific test. There are also over 200 photographs that illustrate testing in both the antigravity and gravity-minimized positions. Finally, there are four appendices that describe manual muscle testing grading, general procedures for testing, terminology, and factors that may cause inaccurate muscle testing. It is the hope of the author that the material has been presented in a user-friendly format, making the task of manual muscle testing a bit easier to accomplish in the clinical setting"-- Provided by publisher
