Product Description
Significantly revised and updated, the 2nd edition of Muscle and Sensory Testing incorporates precise anatomic testing techniques in a well-organized and easy-to-use format. It features a unique chapter on sensory testing, illustrations of gravity-resisted and gravity-eliminated positions for testing, and a chapter on using observational gait analysis as a screening tool for muscle testing. Photographs of testing procedures and line drawings are included; the line drawings of muscles are now enhanced to show innervations. This new edition also includes a DVD-ROM with valuable additional material. Instructor resources available; contact your sales representative for details.

Very good...well organzied. 
An excellent text it basically gives you everything you need to know about manual muscle testing (MMT) and cranial nerve testing. A great thing about this text is that it has a DVD that shows certain MMT so you can better understand how to perform the tests. The text also isolates and identifies what muscles are being tested as well as the nerves being test. I find that very useful. It has tables with normative values as well.

Complete guide to muscle testing 
The format is user friendly and the information is complete (although my teacher disagrees with some of the details.) The DVD woudn't load on my iMac, but others had no trouble and found it helpful.
