Neurologic Examination

Book Description
Neurological disorders can be extremely difficult to diagnose,
perhaps more so than in any medical specialty. As a consequence the
trainee neurologist must invest a great deal of time and effort into
learning the art of diagnosis. Neurological Examination is the ideal
text to use.Neurological Examination is an illustrated guide to all
aspects of the neurological exam. The book reemphasizes the
usefulness of the exam in localizing lesions in the central and
peripheral nervous system from which differential diagnoses are
derived. The examination of the brachial plexus, cervical plexus,
chronic regional pain patients is demonstrated which is not found in
other manuals of neurological examination. Neurological Examination
has retained Professor Bickerstaff's method of muscle and reflex
examination. The use of drifts, the arm roll and parietal copy are
reintroduced to clinical neurology.Dr Schwartzman is amply qualified
for this task as he has developed an impressive reputation across the
USA. The techniques described in this book have been grilled into 274
residents, 42 professors of neurology and five chairmen of neurology!
Dr Schwartzman was director of residency training programs at
University of Texas (San Antonio), Thomas Jefferson and Drexel
College of Medicine. He has been Chairman of Neurology at three
institutions and has won 15 teaching awards, and he has been an
examiner for the American Board of Neurology."The text is packed with
gems of knowledge and the specialist registrar as well as experienced
clinician would learn a lot from reading it. All areas of examination
are covered."John Winer
