This book is good for testing larger muscles, like the delts and traps, but really confusing for smaller muscles, like the thenar muscles.
I needed this book for PT School and provides brand new copies with all disks and/or access codes that you can get if you buy the book at your bookstore. Very pleased with and I will be sure to look at for my future textbook needs.
I gave this book to my girlfriend as a gift for her class as a physical therapist. She "aced" the class with all As and has this book to thank for a great part of her success.
This book was very clear and easy to read. It gives great, concise instructions on how to do MMT. Great book for PT and AT students.
Good MMT textbook but wish it only had upper extremity for OT studies. Some directions were not as common as professor taught us but it gets the job done. Probably will keep for future reference.
its a great text book for students, really helpful. the images and descriptions could be clearer at times but its a book. if they were in the proper position you wouldnt be able to see anythng
I live on this book! Perfect condition. It's been three years since I bought it and I still use it on a weekly basis.
Product was described well and the shipping and deliver communicated realistically.
