These included, among others, the best methods of carrying out the various tests; the purpose of each test; how to overcome technical difficulties; the true meaning of abnormal findings; and how to avoid arriving at false conclusions. This book details methods that have stood the test of time and additionally outlines some newer methods that are are already proving their value. In no sense is this book either a textbook of neurology or a guide to neurological diagnosis. It does, however, aim to help the reader become sufficiently conversant with specific exam techniques to be able to approach neurological cases with much more confidence. In the sixth edition of this deservedly popular book, the general layout and structure of the chapters have been retained, a chapter on general medical investigation has been added, and the chapter on neuroradiology and imaging has been thoroughly rewritten and greatly expanded to document the vast technical and theoretical advances, particularly in imaging techniques.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I: The Introductory Stages. \u003cp\u003eApproaching a Neurological Problem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEquipment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe History.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst Impressions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe General Physical and Mental Examination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II: The Cranial Nerves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe First Cranial Nerve: The Olfactory Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Second Cranial Nerve: The Optic Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Third, Fourth and Sixth Cranial Nerves: The Oculomotor, Trochlear and Abducent Nerves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Fifth Cranial Nerve: The Trigeminal Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Seventh Cranial Nerve: The Facial Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Eighth Cranial Nerve: The Auditory Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ninth and Tenth Cranical Nerves: The Glossopharyngeal and Vagus Nerves.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Eleventh Cranial Nerve: The Accessory Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Twelfth Cranial Nerve: The Hypoglossal Nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III: The Motor System.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDevelopment and Wasting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMuscle Tone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMuscle Power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePosture, Stance, Spinal Movement and Gait.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvoluntary Movements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart IV: The Sensory System.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBasic Principles for Examination of Sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePain, Touch and Temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Proprioceptive Sensations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStereognosis, Discriminative Sense and Graphaesthesia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon Patterns of Abdormal Sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart V: The Motor-Sensory Links.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Reflexes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCo-ordination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VI: Examinations of Particular Difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Unconscious Patient.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDisorders of Speech.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApraxia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAgnosia and Disorders of the Body Image.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Autonomic Nervous System.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VII: The Investigation of Neurological Problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTowards A Balanced Attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGeneral Medical Investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Cerebrospinal Fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeuroradiology and Imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Clinical Value of Electroencephalography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeripheral Electrophysiology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBiopsy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VIII: Appendices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecording the Neurological Examination.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst Examination in the Out-Patient Department or Consulting Room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Suggested Scheme for the Examination of Higher Cerebral Function.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Clinical \u0026amp; internal medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Clinical \u0026amp; internal medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Clinical%20\u0026amp;%20internal%20medicine%20%5BMJ%5D%22\"\u003eMJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516369432856,"sku":"9780865429093","price":133.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780865429093.jpg?v=1786684127","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bickerstaffs-neurological-examination-in-clinical-practice-hardback-9780865429093","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
