This book's unique, self-teaching programmed format helps to (1) teach students how to conduct a neurologic examination (2) review the anatomy and physiology for interpreting it, and (3) show which laboratory tests help to clarify the clinical problem. Updated to reflect the impact of new imaging modalities such as CT and MRI on neurological diagnosis, the book is designed to closely represent the situations physicians will encounter in practice and rehearses the responses they will need to make.

Technique of the Neurological Examination:
It's everything a book book should be... Practical, easy to read... All around a great book to have.
THE NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION IS THE FOUNDATION OF NEUROLOGY:
RECOMMEND STRONGLY. YOUR NEURO EXAM HAS TO BE FLAWLESS AND THIS BOOK HELPS YOU DO THAT. ONCE YOU GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT THE NEXT THING IS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THAT INFO THAT YOU GOT OUT OF THE NEURO EXAM. FOR THIS I WOULD RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING:OTHER USEFUL BOOKS / SOFTWARE THAT I FOUND INCLUDE THE SOFTWARE NEUROLOGY TUTOR 1.01 WHICH I DOWNLOADED FROM www.peakdoctor.org AND ADAMS AND VICTOR (which you can find on www.amazon.com)
DeMeyer text is essential for neurologists in training:
This programmed text is very educational. It combines historical perspective with clinical illustrations. If you've ever wondered the correct way to elicit a Romberg or how to interpret it (or any other exam technique) this is the book you need. Highly recommend it as a programmed exercise and as a reference. I used it as a workbook during my internship so that when I started Neurology residency, I had completed and reviewed the text.
