Sinossi

Highly Commended (Neurology category), BMA Awards 2005.
Neurological clinical examinations are one of the most intimidating procedures a medical student has to perform. This book sets out to demystify it, and, as is shown by the spectacular success of the previous editions, succeeds admirably. It offers a concise and highly illustrated guide to the clinical examination of the nervous system for medical students and junior doctors.

  • A concise and lucid explanation of how to examine the nervous system.
  • Copiously illustrated with clear line diagrams and flow charts.
  • Instructions are clear and systematic - what to do, what you will find, and what it means.
  • History taking section will be slightly enlarged - students often have more problems with this area than anything else.
  • Will include comments on the evidence base for examination, (and the need for more of it).
  • Section at end of book on the neurological examination in an exam setting, the types of cases that are used and how to approach them.

    • Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
