(More customer reviews)This textbook is an excellent reference for differential diagnosis of neuro-muscloskeletal problems encountered by the outpatient physical therapist. The book has several informational chapters that review anatomy, physiology, pathology, examination and treatment of the entire spine by anatomical region. The author is a founder faculty member of the North American Institute of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy. This text is excellently referenced. What makes the book even more unique is the case studies presented in an critical analysis format that challenges the reader to test their differential diagnostic skills and treatment approaches. This book is a must read for novice and expert therapists alike.

Manual muscle testing is a cornerstone activity in physical and occupational therapy. Designed to complement, not supplement two existing tomes in the literature, this book presents information that is contained, but not readily accessible in the other two books. Each muscle or muscle group is presented on a two page spread. Each spread is chock full of information, containing a picture of the muscle test, step-by-step instructions for performing the test, the muscle's origin and insertion points, etc.
