This was honestly the hardest book to read cover to cover but what gotta be done gotta be done. Its a great read because theres so much information its conscise and it comes with a CD of all the sources for further study. If theres one book I really appreciate and hate for my Physiotherapy study its this one!

A pretty thorough guide to neuromuscular assessment. The way it’s organized makes it easy to find what you’re looking for, and the tests and clinical applications are well-described. Sometimes feels a bit repetitive, but that’s probably better for learning purposes. Good value for what it offers. I’d recommend for any one starting out or looking to refresh their knowlege.

I found that the text would be more user friendly if the page numbers were listed for the special orthopaedic tests in the charts… just saving the reader having to search.
Overall, a great resource!

I loved the layout, I loved the in depth context that really explained what you'd want to know about treatment, why pathologies affect someone, and so much more. Really a great textbook.
