“Overall, this is a good contribution to the field. It is concise, easy to follow, and easy to search for specific muscles and movements to test. Because the book is smaller in size, it is easy to carry in a bag or leave on a desk without taking up a lot of room. This would be a useful tool for any student or clinician who performs manual muscle testing.”
