Synopsis

Inclusive and authoritative, this outstanding text encompasses all neuromuscular disorders in one easy-to-use volume. Unlike other texts that deal separately with motor neurone diseases, peripheral neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders and myopathies, this unique reference covers all aspects of neuromuscular disorders from diagnosis to treatment. It is written by recognised authorities and seasoned clinical experts: a distinguished group of neurologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, rheumatologists, and psychiatrists. Section One reviews the clinical assessment of neuromuscular disorders. Section Two covers investigative techniques used in evaluating neuromuscular diseases, including laboratory studies, clinical neurophysiology procedures, nerve and muscle biopsy findings, imaging techniques, and molecular analysis and genetic testing. Section Three focuses on assessing and treating neuromuscular disorders. The final section covers specific neuromuscular disorders. The authors use a traditional approach to illness - aetiology and pathogenesis, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, evaluation and diagnosis, treatment and management, and prognosis - to highlight the clinical, electrodiagnostic, pathological, biochemical, and genetic aspects of neuromuscular disorders.The gold standard reference for information on neuromuscular diseases Provides comprehensive coverage of both myopathies and peripheral neuropathies, integrating basic science with clinical applications Learn from the experiences of the contributors, who are all recognized authorities in the field
