This work's self-teaching programmed format aims to help teach students how to conduct a neurologic examination, review the anatomy and physiology for interpreting it, and show which laboratory tests help to clarify the clinical problem. Updated to reflect the impact of new imaging modalities such as CT and MRI on neurological diagnosis, it is designed to represent the situations physicians are likely to encounter in practice and rehearses responses they will need to make.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
UNIQUE, “LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE” FORMAT – TEACHING THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND CLINICIANS SINCE 1969.
“Without question the best book available on the neurologic examination.”
--Four Stars from Doody*
“Excellent. The information is detailed, pertinent, and excellently arranged. What is surprising is the incredibly complete, interesting, and worthwhile information it contains. The author is obviously an excellent clinician and teacher who has taught many years. One can easily detect that [DeMyer’s] book contains the distilled best of his teaching experiences.”
--Archive of Internal Medicine*
“The book presents much more information than the title suggests; it has excellent parts on neuroanatomy and clinical neurosciences.”
--Four Stars (Excellent) from Mayo Clinic Proceedings*
*reviews of previous editions
Rely on the unique, step-by-step programmed learning approach featured in the fifth edition of DeMyer's Technique of the Neurologic Examination to master the vocabulary, basic science principles, and clinical techniques needed to perform an effective neurologic examination.
You'll work through real-life clinical situations and rehearse the skills and procedures that make the neurologic examination productive for both patient and examiner. Plus you'll learn how to tailor the neurologic examination to different clinical needs: the screening exam, the complete exam, special application to hysteria, the elderly patient, coma, brain death, gait analysis, and much more.
Throughout, you learn at your own pace. Learning Objectives at the end of each chapter help you assess your progress toward stated goals. Written by an experienced teacher and based on a lifetime of practical wisdom and knowledge, the tested, self-instruction format of Technique of the Neurologic Examination is ideal for gaining a thorough understanding of how to perform the neurologic examination with success and confidence.

DeMeyer text is essential for neurologists in training,
By T. Clarke (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technique of the Neurologic Examination: A Programmed Text (Paperback)
This programmed text is very educational. It combines historical perspective with clinical illustrations. If you've ever wondered the correct way to elicit a Romberg or how to interpret it (or any other exam technique) this is the book you need. Highly recommend it as a programmed exercise and as a reference. I used it as a workbook during my internship so that when I started Neurology residency, I had completed and reviewed the text.

THE NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION IS THE FOUNDATION OF NEUROLOGY,
By Helpful Bob "Bobby" (Bellingham WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technique of the Neurological Examination (Paperback)
RECOMMEND STRONGLY. YOUR NEURO EXAM HAS TO BE FLAWLESS AND THIS BOOK HELPS YOU DO THAT. ONCE YOU GET THAT STRAIGHTENED OUT THE NEXT THING IS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THAT INFO THAT YOU GOT OUT OF THE NEURO EXAM. FOR THIS I WOULD RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING:OTHER USEFUL BOOKS / SOFTWARE THAT I FOUND INCLUDE THE SOFTWARE NEUROLOGY TUTOR 1.01 WHICH I DOWNLOADED FROM www.peakdoctor.org AND ADAMS AND VICTOR (which you can find on www.amazon.com)

The useful, logical and problem-oriented neurological examination.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Technique of the Neurological Examination (Paperback)
This is not an encyclopedia (Most of us don't need encyclopedias) but this book contains almost all you need to know to make an appropiate physical neurological evaluation.
The way it is written is unique: I have never seen a photo of the author, but I feel that he guides me! This is the best textbook for learning without the presence of a teacher. More than five stars!!!
