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.

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)

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!!!

No mention of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis aka CFS/CFIDS). ME is a common (1M+ in US) and extremely debilitating disease classified in ICD at 93.3 Diseases of the Brain since its entry into ICD in 1969.

It's everything a book book should be... Practical, easy to read... All around a great book to have.

This is simply the best book available on how to do and interpret the neurological exam. However, the book is not an exhaustive textbook on neurological disease. So, one of the criticisms on this site, that the book does not mention chronic fatigue syndrome (AKA Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, etc.), is inappropriate and unfair and misses the whole point of the book.

This is an excellent book for residents,fellows and even for neurologists with basics of neurologocal examination explained and demonstrated brilliamtly.

This is a fantastic text with some very useful information whether you're new to performing neuro exams or you're more experienced, as it's a great review with a lot of tips.
