A practical handbook on evaluating muscular strength and function, Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing: Techniques of Manual Examination and Performance Testing, 9th Edition makes it easy to understand and master procedures in manual muscle testing and performance testing. Clear, illustrated instructions provide a guide to patient positioning, direction of motion, and direction of resistance. In addition to muscle testing of normal individuals and others with weakness or paralysis, this edition includes new coverage of alternative strength tests and performance tests for older adults and others with functional decline (such as the inactive and obese). Written by educators Helen J. Hislop, Dale Avers, and Marybeth Brown, this classic physical therapy reference now features an Evolve companion website with video clips demonstrating key muscle testing techniques. Drawings and arrows along with clear written directions make it easy to understand and perform muscle testing procedures, allowing you to assess deficits in strength, balance, and range of motion.More than 600 illustrations clearly show testing sequences, muscle anatomy, and muscle innervation.Video clips of over 100 muscle tests on the Evolve companion website demonstrate the art and technique of muscle testing in a clinical setting.Details of muscle anatomy and innervation help in linking muscle topography with function.Helpful Hints and Substitutions boxes provide additional tips and highlight muscle substitutions that may occur during a test to ensure greater accuracy in testing.A constant reference number clearly identifies each muscle in the body, indexed in the Alphabetical List of Muscles by Region as well as in the Ready Reference Anatomy Manual on Evolve, to speed cross-referencing and help you quickly identify any muscle. NEW chapters on performance testing cover functional strength testing in older adults and those with functional decline, and testing muscle performance in various clinical settings. NEW chapters on manual muscle testing address when to use manual muscle testing, the limitations of manual muscle testing, and alternatives to manual muscle testing.UPDATED references for each chapter include the most current evidence-based information.NEW! An Evolve companion website helps you hone your manual testing skills with video clips of over 100 muscle tests and with the Ready Reference Anatomy Guide.

By far the most popular and widely used text for over 50 years, Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing is the original handbook of manual evaluation of muscular strength. In addition to offering tried and true methods for assessing and grading skeletal muscle function, this up-to-date classic provides a comprehensive section on muscle anatomy and innervation that rounds out the testing chapters by linking muscle topography and function. Beautifully illustrated with more than 575 high-quality drawings, the 7th edition includes over 100 new drawings created specifically for this edition.
<li>Over 575 figures, many in colour, illustrate the steps in each test as well as muscle anatomy and innervation</li>
<li>Sequential procedures for testing muscles innervated by cranial nerves are covered in complete detail-a topic not fully described in any other source</li>
<li>A synopsis of anatomy and muscle innervation allows readers to review muscle topography and function</li>
<li>Identification of each muscle by a consistent reference number speeds cross-referencing and helps readers quickly identify any muscle in the body</li>
<li>
Helpful Hints offer detailed suggestions for ensuring greater accuracy in testing.</li>
<li>
 Substitutions boxes highlight muscle substitutions that may occur as a specific test progresses</li>
<li>Special sidebars provide additional background information on muscle testing related to the topics at hand</li>
<li>Clear, concise writing makes accurate muscle testing more understandable and puts the reader right into the test situation</li>
<li>Extensive reviews by some of the country's top physical therapists, anatomists, kinesiologists, and physicians ensure the accuracy and timeliness of chapter material.</li>
<li>An updated new design organizes information into an easy-to-use format that makes it more accessible than ever</li>
<li>New cross-section drawings of limbs and shoulder-chest areas enhance palpation of muscles and provide another perspective on muscle size and location</li>
<li>An entirely new chapter on infants, toddlers, and preschool children (chapter 6), with over 40 new illustrations, offers a fresh approach to this challenging area</li>
<li>A revised anatomy section features over 50 new anatomic drawings and cross-sections.</li>
