Classic manual muscle testing has been shown to be an invaluable
clinical tool in evaluating muscle function and for the assessment
of patient recovery from neuromuscular dysfunction. Advances in
Professional Applied Kinesiology (PAK) have 'fine tuned'
traditional understanding to bring muscle testing into another
dimension. Many of the diagnostic bonds of the past have been
broken, allowing for an unsurpassed range in functional diagnoses.
An extremely sensitive tool, PAK muscle testing allows the
clinician to evaluate a much wider array of complex systems
(cranial nerve problems, joint receptor abnormalities, and
acupuncture meridian imbalances) than can be made using the classic
testing methods. The English language edition of this highly
successful handbook has been specially prepared for the
international reader. The most up-to-date PAK tests are described
as well as myofascial stretch testing and post-isometric relaxation
techniques. The handbook carefully explains testing procedures for
almost 100 individual muscles; many more than are found in other
texts on the subject. In a unique, quick reference approach, the
book not only reviews muscle anatomy and physiology, but also
offers many clinical pearls with regard to possible causes of
muscle dysfunction. Accompanied by a wealth of illustrations, the
book is clearly written in a user-friendly 'double page' design
that maximizes understanding. Clearly describes modern muscle test
procedures The individual aspects of each muscle are easily
compared by the use of well-illustrated templated descriptions A
double-page spread design allows the reader a rapid, at-a-glance
access to essential information Muscle anatomy and function are
succinctly recapped in order to facilitate a complete understanding
of the relevance and applicability of the individual test Classic
Applied Kinesiology muscle tests for detecting functional
abnormalities are well described along with stretch testing and
post-isometric relaxation procedures for hypertonic, shortened
muscles The importance of postural analysis for the assessment of
specific muscle dysfunction is discussed and plainly described
Illustrates painful spondylogenic reflex points (areas) for each
muscle The role of distal acupuncture points and tendinomuscular
meridians in maintaining normal muscle and muscle chain function
are noted in accompanying diagrams The most commonly found trigger
points, their referred pain patterns and relationship to nearby
acupuncture points are clearly illustrated for each muscle Perfect
for use in orthopaedics, neurology, general medicine,
physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy
