Neurological Examination

About this book

Whereas most books about neurologic examinations are disease and anatomy oriented, 'The Neurologic Examination' focuses on a pathophysiological approach to the nervous system. The authors emphasize that the scientific interpretation of symptoms obtained from carefully taking the patient's history and noting signs found during physical examination are essential in the diagnosis of neurologic diseases, even if laboratory testing, such as electrophysiology and neuroimaging, are being more widely used.
