Description

Especially prepared for the international audience, the English language edition of this highly successful handbook describes Professional Applied Kinesiology muscle testing procedures.

A departure from the classic understanding of muscle testing for weakness and rehabilitation, these procedures can be used for detecting more subtle, functional abnormalities.

Included within the chapters are stretch tests and post-isometric relaxation procedures for the hypertonic, shortened muscle.

Muscle anatomy and physiology are briefly recapped in order to enhance reader comprehension.

The Muscle Testing Handbook describes testing procedures for almost 100 individual muscles in a unique, quick reference, template approach.

In close collaboration with Dr.

Garten, the German edition has been adapted for the English-language audience by Dr.

Shafer, an American chiropractic colleague.

This book is ideal for use by manual therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports scientists and neurology department staff worldwide.
