Excellent Pocket Book
This book is a quick and easy guide to musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve exams. It's very portable, easy to read and find information. Has detailed photographs for each exam and drawings of each relevant nerve. Would recommend this book to physicians in primary care, neurology, PM&R and Pain Medicine.

a pocket full of important information
an excellent resource for the medical practitioner and student; full of concise information on MSK and peripheral nerve exams

highly recommended!!!
I absolutely love this book! It's small, handy and has tons of pictures to easily highlight what and how to examine. Also, has very useful, detailed drawings of each nerve that are clinically relevant. I'm in Family Practice and some parts of this book are beyond me (EMG, detailed muscle innervation/needle placement info, cord injury info), but 80% of the book is what I was taught in medical school and can't remember for those 5 patients a month that need a thorough exam. I also like how well and concisely it's organized.
