Neuromuscular Disorders

Neuromuscular Disorders is comprehensive in scope, yet concise enough to serve as a valuable point-of-care guide for
your day-to-day clinical practice. Grounded by numerous reference sources and enhanced by the experience of two
seasoned clinicians, this text provides a pragmatic approach to the evaluation and management of neuromuscular disease.
Here, in a single source, you'll get an insightful look at both nerve and muscle conditions, ranging from motor neuron
diseases to neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathies.

The book opens with the clinical and laboratory approach to patients with neuromuscular disease, covering
electrodiagnostic testing, nerve conduction studies, and muscle and nerve histopathology. With an emphasis on effective
diagnosis and treatment, the substance of the text examines the full spectrum of specific neuromuscular diseases,
giving you the “big picture” of the discipline in a way that no other text can match.
