Whereas most book about the neurologic examination are disease and anatomy oriented, The Neurologic Examination: Scientific Basis for Clinical Diagnosis focuses on a pathophysiological approach to the nervous system. The authors emphasize that the scientific interpretation of symptoms obtained from carefully taking the patient's history and noting signs found during physical examination are essential in the diagnosis of neurologic diseases, even if laboratory testing, such as electrophysiology and neuroimaging, are more widely used. This book aims to provide a bridge from the basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and molecular biology to the neurologic symptoms. Neurologic examinations provide the foundation for diagnosis, and only after a thorough and expertly executed examination can one begin to incorporate laboratory testing and treatment. The Neurologic Examination: Scientific Basis for Clinical Diagnosis, based on the widely successful Japanese book Diagnosis of Neurological Diseases (Igakushoin, Japan, second edition 2013) by Dr. Shibasaki, hopes to revitalize the use of neurologic examinations before jumping into laboratory testing. Doing so can help cut down on time, patient and physician anxiety, and unnecessary testing expenses. This book is a must-read for all practicing neurologists, residents, and medical students. Key Features Include · The chapters are arranged in order of the actual steps in a neurologic examination; · Highly illustrated with figures and tables indicative of the neurologic signs and symptoms that may appear during the given step; and · 99 discussion boxes are inserted throughout to provide a more in-depth look at particular topics without interrupting the reading flow of the text.

Product Description 
The neurologic subspecialty of Movement Disorders is complicated with many different entities, making the differential diagnosis difficult. One of the most important aspects of these different entities is their visual appearance. Still photographs do not give sufficient information, but 
videos like the ones included in this volume can provide dimension, context, and critical information. The variety of visual appearances is wide and seeing many videos is necessary to develop skill in making a diagnosis. Involuntary movements are even more complicated and the adage "seeing is 
believing" has never been more true. Despite this, few books include videos portraying involuntary movements.\nInvoluntary Movements: Classification and Video Atlas pairs descriptions of the clinical features of various involuntary movements with video depictions of the involuntary movements in action. In a unique approach, this book considers two aspects of the diagnosis of involuntary movements: the 
phenomenology - as depicted in approximately 200 video supplements - and the etiology. The book also discusses the current consensus on the classification, pathophysiology, and treatment of each involuntary movement.\nReview 
"This book is multi-authored and written by experts in the field, which allows it to offer current, evidence-based approaches to classification, pathophysiology, and treatment of each movement disorder. Video illustrations are edited to make them more educational. I can see myself relying on this 
book during my outpatient practice as a neurologist." -- Arpan Patel, MD, Hofstra/Northwell, 
Doody's Review Service\n"The book should appeal to a very broad audience of subspecialties as well as levels of experience. In an era of remarkable advances in the biological sciences, there is still a vital need for astute and accurate neurological observation, and this is probably more so the case in the field of 
movement disorders than all others. 
Involuntary Movements: Classification and Video Atlas addresses this critical need." -- Anthony E Lang, OC, MD, FRCPC, FAAN, FCAHS, FRSC, Professor and Jack Clark Chair for Parkinson's Disease Research, University of Toronto, and Lily Safra Chair in Movement 
Disorders, Toronto Western Hospital, Canada\n"Written by internationally recognized experts, this comprehensive volume consists of a detailed description of the various movement disorders accompanied by illustrative and well-edited videos. In addition to all the major hyperkinetic disorders [EL], the authors also cover functional (psychogenic) 
and sleep-related movement disorders as well as disorders of increased muscle stiffness or over-activity. The book and video atlas will be especially valuable to residents, fellows and other trainees interested in movement disorders, as well as general neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and 
physiatrists in academia and in practice." -- Joseph Jankovic, MD, Professor of Neurology, Distinguished Chair in Movement Disorders, and Director of Parkinson's Disease Center and Movement Disorders Clinic, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas\n"When spotting a person with uncontrollable, abnormal movements and postures, one's eyes are locked onto the subject, as if mesmerized, trying to interpret what is happening to that person. And so it is with looking at videos of a wide collection of involuntary movements collated in this atlas by 
and from the combined experiences of the authors. They share their skill and knowledge in helping the reader navigate the complexity of different patterns of involuntary movement following a classification system to lead the clinician to make the correct diagnosis. This Atlas has something to offer 
for everyone - novices just entering the specialty of movement disorders to the most experienced veteran." -- Stanley Fahn, MD, H. Houston Merritt Professor of Neurology, Columbia University, New York, New York\n"This atlas is excellent, the awaited
