Neurologic Examination: An Illustrated Guide to the Neurological Examination

by Robert J. Schwartzman

Overview

Neurologic Examination is designed to help medical personnel make a diagnosis with the patient's history and physical examination. This book is designed to lead the physician to the correct localization of a lesion utilizing simple bedside tests. The only tools employed are a reflex hammer and a pin. The illustrations and technique descriptions guide the practitioner through subtle but important details and distinctions, which include the observation of gait, the use of drifts, the arm roll, and parietal copy.
