Great service and the product promised was delivered:
My book was in great condition and was delivered by the date promised.
very self-explanatory and handy:
During my first semester as a PTA student, this book was a life-saver! It is very thorough on how to do each muscle test and has wonderful pictures and tables for studying muscle origins, insertions, and innervations for future knowledge. You don't want to miss having such a handy study guide!
Muscle Testing:
This book was used as a text in my PTA class. It seems pretty thorough. The images are pretty good, and the step by step instructions are fairly detailed. Improvements that would be nice are: alternate methods of testing, and it would be nice to have the diagnoses listed for which each test would be applicable.
Muscle Testing: Techniques of Manual Examination.:
Very informative, clear and concise. A most helpful book for therapists, trainers and sports enthusiasts. It has very clear diagrams and helpful step by step instructions which are easy to follow. If you are looking for an easy, clear guide to muscle examination techniques then this is it.
