very self-explanatory and handy, 2006-09-22
During my first semester as a PTA student, this book was a life-saver! It is very thorough on how to do each muscle test and has wonderful pictures and tables for studying muscle origins, insertions, and innervations for future knowledge. You don't want to miss having such a handy study guide!

Muscle Testing, 2006-03-09
This book was used as a text in my PTA class. It seems pretty thorough. The images are pretty good, and the step by step instructions are fairly detailed.

Improvements that would be nice are: alternate methods of testing, and it would be nice to have the diagnoses listed for which each test would be applicable.
