A practical handbook on evaluating muscular strength and function,
Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing: Techniques of Manual
Examination and Performance Testing, 10th Edition helps you to
understand and master procedures in manual muscle testing and
performance testing. Clear, illustrated instructions provide a
guide to patient positioning, direction of motion, and direction of
resistance. In addition to muscle testing of normal individuals and
others with weakness or paralysis, this edition includes coverage
of alternative strength tests and performance tests for older
adults and others with functional decline (such as the inactive and
obese). The tenth edition also includes coverage of muscle
dynamometry and a sampling of ideal exercises. Updated by educators
Dale Avers and Marybeth Brown, this classic physical therapy
reference once again features a companion website with many new
video clips demonstrating the latest muscle testing procedures and
alternatives to muscle testing. In addition, two online only
chapters - Cranial Nerve and Ready Reference Anatomy - have been
added. Drawings and arrows along with clear written directions make
it easy to understand and perform muscle testing procedures,
allowing you to assess deficits in strength, balance, and range of
motion. More than 500 illustrations clearly show testing sequences,
muscle anatomy, and muscle innervation. Chapters on performance
testing cover functional strength testing in older adults and those
with functional decline, and testing muscle performance in various
clinical settings. Chapters on manual muscle testing address when
to use manual muscle testing, the limitations of manual muscle
testing, and alternatives to manual muscle testing. Details of
muscle anatomy and innervation help in linking muscle topography
with function. Helpful Hints and Substitutions boxes provide
additional tips and highlight muscle substitutions that may occur
during a test to ensure greater accuracy in testing. A constant
reference number clearly identifies each muscle in the body,
indexed in the Alphabetical List of Muscles by Region as well as in
the Ready Reference Anatomy Manual on Evolve, to speed
cross-referencing and help you to quickly identify any muscle. NEW!
Content on the muscle dynamometer and muscle dynamometry data
introduces you to muscle dynamometry including muscle dynamometer
methods and results with each muscle. NEW! Video clips demonstrate
the latest muscle testing techniques and alternative muscle testing
procedures in a clinical setting. NEW! Ideal exercises for selected
muscles thoroughly explain procedures based on the literature. NEW!
Additional Video Educational Content box alerts you when videos
associated with that chapter are available to view.
