Muscles: Testing and Testing and Function with Posture and Pain

Another phenomenal way to learn muscle evaluation and assessment. This book clearly explains muscle testing, MMT, and functional movement in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. I loved having this as a reference, and it was highly recommended by my NYU professors.

The book was in good condition when I received it.

In this latest edition of the classic Physical Therapy textbook, the organization of the information has been overhauled and it contains less chapters. I never read the previous editions, but the author claims it is better organized. I found it to be well-organized indeed. The photos are great, including the classic black/white pictures demonstrating the different tests. The anatomy drawings are very good with excellent detailed descriptions of functional anatomy. The Primal Pictures CD-ROM included with the book is awesome. You can rotate anatomy diagrams 360 degrees while adding and removing anatomical structures such as ligaments, stabilizer and postural muscles, prime movers, veins, arteries, nerves, etc. It's a fantastic tool! I'm currently using some images for a couple of articles I'm writing on corrective stretching and strengthening. It is most certainly a must read for fitness and therapy pros.

Contains the best photos and descriptions. Great organization and easy to find needed information. Have kept this book after completing physical therapy school and have referred to it several times. Recommend purchase

Like- -excellent for isolating a muscle for testing, and for palpation when challenged, which helps sort out diagnosis. -excellent updated text, do not let old black white pictures appearance mislead, this is a classic text which greatly benefits diagnose difficult clinical presentations in sports and pain clinic

In the fields of fitness, physical therapy, sports, orthopedics or anatomy and biomechanical interest, this book is a classic that should prove invaluable to you. It can help professionals or laypeople discover muscular imbalances, injuries and causes of pain in their bodies or the bodies of others. It is clearly and well presented, very well-researched and accepted in the medical field. My main profession is fitness and health trainer and this book is a tremendous contribution to my practice.

It’s a must for historical purposes in my opinion.

Recommended by my group of physical therapists as an essential to their libraries, I find it equally valuable for the aging fellow experiencing the aches and pains that accompany life past 60. This is not a book for the faint of pocket book as it is a text book and commands the inflated price. If you don't have frequent need for a muscle reference, I wouldn't spend the money, but it you like a complete story related to aches and pains of particular muscles, this is a nice book to own. I suspect that like airplanes, summer cabins, and box seats to the Yankees games, it is something you'd like your best friend to own.

Delighted to have received this key text in great condition and well within timeframe promised. As a comprehensive reference for muscle testing and functional assessment, this book does not disappoint.

Exactly as described, good quality book and prompt delivery

concetti chiari, inglese tecnico ma non difficile da interpretare, prezzo nella norma rispetto a titoli simili. consiglio l'acquisto per fisioterapisti- chinesiologi

Muscles: Testing and Function, with Posture and Pain, International Edition: Includes a Bonus Primal Anatomy CD-ROMとなっておりますが、CD-ROMは付属しておりませんでした。返品扱いで再送してもらいましたが、やはりCDーROMは付属していません。要注意です。しかし、本そのものには満足で、日常臨床で辞書代わりに使用していますが、役に立ちます。 筋力評価関係ではDaniels and Worthigham's Muscle testingと双璧をなすのではないでしょうか。どちらが良いかは、個人の好みがかなり入ってくると思います。
