Muskelfunktion

The muscle function assessment is part of the examination of patients with muscle weakness and peripheral paresis. This pocket guide, aimed at physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physical educators working in rehabilitation, and medical professionals, presents in a very clear manner:

• the muscles involved in a movement and their palpation points,
• the manual tests for assessing the strength and endurance with which a movement can be performed,
• reflex and sensitivity tests, and
• diagrams that facilitate the documentation of test results.

Clinical symptoms of muscular weakness and typical case examples establish the connection to daily practice in dealing with patients.
