Editorial Reviews

Review
Teaching occupational therapy students to evaluate clients using manual muscle testing and goniometry, this manual emphasizes the need to combine procedural knowledge of functional observation and gross and isolated muscle testing with flexibility and higher clinical reasoning. Some 350 black and white photos detail manual muscle testing step by step. The authors teach occupational therapy at Quinnipiac University.



- Book News Inc.

This manual is an easy to follow guide for the evaluation of range of motion and muscle strength. This spiral bound book contains three chapters covering goniometry, gross manual muscle testing, and isolated manual muscle testing and appendixes for muscle tables, range of motion tables, and sample evaluation forms.



The purpose is to provide the students preparing to enter a clinical setting with formal instruction techniques. The content and structure is user friendly. This book offers functional examples of muscle movements to be observed by the students to relate in a clinical setting. The book designates icons that are used throughout the book, which guide the students through specific areas for caution and ASHT guidelines.



This is a useful book for the novice student as well as a quick review for the practicing therapist.



- (Doody’s Review) Mary D. Groves, B.S. from Kaiser Permanente

Product Description
This occupational therapy manual focuses on the use of assessment tools when evaluating the range of motion and strength of clients, yet emphasizes the time efficiency required in today’s healthcare environment. Readers learn to screen clients for strength and motion deficits using functional observation and to formulate appropriate intervention plans through gross manual muscle assessment. Readers also receive instruction in methods of isolated manual muscle testing and when it is appropriate to utilize this specific assessment.

1.0 out of 5 stars FILLED WITH ERRORS, December 11, 2008
Beware OTs! I am an OT Doctoral Student and we were assigned this textbook for use in a Kinesiology course. It is filled with errors. Pictures are with the wrong muscles or muscle tests, information is inconsistent, there are serious errors with the descriptions of some muscles, etc. etc. etc. With help from our professor, we are planning to write a letter to the editor with a detailed description of each and every error. Who knows, maybe they will be embarassed enough to give us our money back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good OT source, February 16, 2006
By OT teacher "OT teacher" (Milwaukee, WI, USA) - See all my reviews
Nice source for ROM and MMT (both group and individual)for occupational therapists. I especially like the ASHT variation guidelines which were included. Many OT sources do not have complete or clear "group" muscle testings, this book did. It also had clear and "to the point" explanations of purpose of each testing procedure. Pictures of "gravity lessened" muscle testing procedures would be helpful.

Commend the authors!
