Muscles: Testing and Function (Kendall, Muscles)
It was nice to have the postural information in the same book as the tests. I'm an older therapist and it is nice to have a good book.

Good book
This is a great book! I bought it for a class I'm taking and I will probably keep it forever. I am studying to be a Physical Therapist and this book really seems wonderful for all of the muscles, tendons, etc. Great, great learning tool!!!

The best book on Muscle Testing
As a certifed personal trainer and pilates instructor, I work primarily with individuals who are challenged with back pain and various joint problems. This book provides a clear and concise protocol and information for working with individuals with muscle imbalances. You definitely need a strong background in this area to understand and use the material appropriately. The DVD is also an excellet companion to the book.

Product Description
Myoclonus is brief, involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles. It describes a medical sign and, generally, is not a diagnosis of a disease. Themyoclonic twitches are usually caused by sudden muscle contractions; they also can result from brief lapses of contraction. Contractions are called positive myoclonus; relaxations are called negative myoclonus. The most common time for people to encounter them is while falling asleep, but myoclonic jerks are also a sign of a number of neurological disorders. Hiccups are also a kind of myoclonic jerk specifically affecting the diaphragm. Also when a spasm is caused by another person it is known as a "provoked spasm". Myoclonic jerks may occur alone or in sequence, in a pattern or without pattern. They may occur infrequently or many times each minute. Most often, myoclonus is one of several signs in a wide variety of nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and some forms of epilepsy. ...

Product Description
This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Because of the worldwide burden of bronchial asthma and the recent increase in the use of lung transplantation as a treatment for end-stage lung disease, the importance of chronic inflammatory airway diseases, such as asthma and obliterative bronchiolitis/ bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (OB/BOS), the clinical manifestation of chronic rejection after lung transplantation, has dramatically increased in the last decade. The first step in controlling these diseases is the unraveling of the basic mechanisms leading to these diseases. Therefore we studied the signal transduction pathways leading from proinflammatory cytokines to chemokines responsible for the attraction of inflammatory cells, which leads to a further development of these diseases. Contents include: Introduction, hypothesis and aims, Role of HASMC in asthmatic inflammation, Role of HASMC in the inflammatory response of OB/BOS after lung transplantation, General discussi!on and prospects for the future, and Summary. ...
