Product Description
This is the second edition of the manual describing this popular and practical tool for the clinical neurological examination of the newborn. In addition to a number of developments on the original scheme in the light of clinical and research experience, the new manual also facilitates the recording and performance of the examination by providing clear information on its administration aided by illustrative diagrams. New sections include a simplified version of the examination suited to inexperienced staff, applicable both for screening and for use in developing countries; a revised proforma that may be used for the follow-up of infants beyond the neonatal period; and a new section describing clinical patterns in newborns with brain lesions and their correlation with imaging and neurological findings. Scoring tables are included in the back of the book. |

Well done -- but NO index! by S. M Marson (Lumberton, NC)  4 Stars
February 02, 2002
Although the intended audience for this book includes physicians and neuropsychologists, I found it quite readable and useful. In addition, it is practical and well organized. I found the illustrations to be particularly helpful.One serious problem, the authors did not include an index. This is not a book that one reads from cover to cover in a single sitting. It is more of a reference book that a reader will seek out in order to find specific information. Without an index, the book is cumbersome - almost bordering on useless.
