This is said to be an sensitivity to recognize this more benign pheno- inherent disadvantage of M M T as compared with type of X-linked dystrophy. N o previous studies QMT which allows for interval data with equal of DMD had recognized the existence of this differences between integers.

Our natural history group which has now been confirmed on a molec- study tends to refute this argument since we were ular genetic basis. It is apparent in Figure 1 that the T h e careful documentation of the natural his- tory, particularly in patients 5 to 15 years old with DMD, provided excellent standards by which clin-. From this data base both natural history controlled trials and randomized controlled trials could be planned. Y ble. Average muscle strength for age of patient.

The usefulness of in Duchenne dystrophy in which M M T proved to be an effective means of demonstrating improve- ment.

Both prednisone groups had signif- icant improvement which was clearly demon- strated by MMT. The placebo group followed the natural history rate of decline Fig. Before ending this discussion, it is important to delineate one of the major limitations of MMT.

I have demonstrated that data from 34 groups of muscles can produce interval data, but the same is clearly not true for strength testing of individual Q M T is clearly superior to initiation of their regimens. The solid line represents the natural M M T for individual muscle assessment.

The strength of individual muscles represented as the 50th percentile muscle strength plotted against age.

Cram Session in Goniometry and Manual Muscle Testing by Lynn Van Ost is a descriptive quick reference that provides the rehabilitation professional with a very basic approach to various techniques.

This handbook is unique in that it takes the information published inside Cram Session in Goniometry and Cram Session in Manual Muscle Testing and combines them into one succinct resource. Readers will enjoy the benefits of both of these books, now in one compact and affordable format. Includes index Manual muscle testing is a cornerstone activity in physical and occupational therapy. Each spread is packed with information and contains a picture of the muscle test Why muscle test?
