Full Description
This book provides a concise overview of the diagnosis, therapy, and recent updates of various neuromuscular disorders in tabulated form and with illustrative cases. Treating neuromuscular disorders requires a sound, step-by-step clinical approach based on differential diagnosis and laboratory investigations. Yet to date, no single, compact book offers all the relevant information about managing these disorders. This book fills that gap, presenting the state of the art in the field and addressing practical problems with their solutions. Each chapter covers disorder characteristics, clinical differentiating points, relevant investigations, and their interpretation, available genetic testing, best management approaches, and counseling. Illustrative cases provide valuable insights, while extensive tables and illustrations will be helpful for the Neurologist, neuromuscular specialist, Neurology resident, Physician, and physiotherapist.
