Diagnose Neuromuscular Disorders with Confidence: Aminoff’s 4th Edition

Edited by Michael J. Aminoff MD DSc FRCP, Jeffrey W. Ralph MD, and Francis Walker MD, Aminoff’s Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders, 4th Edition is the ultimate guide for healthcare professionals seeking expert knowledge on the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and imaging aspects of neuromuscular disorders.

Comprehensive and Fully Updated

This extensively revised edition reflects significant advances in the field, including:

• An improved understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of neuromuscular disease
• The expanded use of next-generation genetic testing
• Refinements in electrodiagnosis
• The use of ultrasound imaging techniques to evaluate the peripheral nervous system

In-depth discussions of disease states, as well as the evidence supporting the use of electrodiagnostic and imaging techniques, provides a comprehensive understanding of why certain diagnoses are made.

Clinical Applications and Diagnosis

This authoritative reference covers:

• The range of clinical manifestations of individual neuromuscular diseases
• The power and limitations of electrodiagnostic techniques as they relate to neuromuscular disorders
• The place of genetic studies in the diagnosis and prognostication of these diseases
• The scope and utility of newer imaging procedures in detecting and localizing the underlying pathologic process

Reviews of neuromuscular physiology and the pathology of major diseases provide a solid foundation for diagnosis and treatment.

Practical Guidance for Healthcare Professionals

This book offers:

• A readable, well-illustrated synthesis of clinical and investigative techniques in diagnosing neuromuscular diseases
• Concise guidance on how to conduct clinical, electrodiagnostic, and ultrasound evaluations
