Customer Review
Excellent resource for DPT Student
I have just begun using this text in my DPT program this past week, and it has already come in quite handy. It is a great addition/alternative to the Kendall manual muscle testing text because Hislop includes so many helpful illustrations and clear descriptions of both patient and PT positioning. Our professors have suggested several small edits to the techniques described in the book to allow better body mechanics for the PT, but I am glad to have this text as a thorough guide as I begin to learn manual muscle testing technique.

Excellent resource
I purchased this book for my PTA program. It wasn't required reading but several class mates had this book and I thought it worth buying because it is so thorough in its explanations, positioning for different strength grades, and muscle information. It is easy to read and contains a lot of valuable information. The only negative are the pages themselves (and others have commented on that already). They are extremely thin and flimsy, which makes no sense for a book that is an every day tool in the practice (or for learning).
