Riassunto

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.
