Résumé : Now in its revised Sixth Edition, this classic text is a comprehensive, detailed guide to the neurologic examination. The book provides a thorough understanding of both the techniques of the examination and the anatomic and physiologic bases of the results. This edition includes new signs and symptoms, new case material, and new illustrations. A section discussing the mental status examination and higher cortical functions has been added to discuss the disorders of the cerebral cortex, speech and language, and related disorders. Also new to this edition are sections discussing Orthopedic Neurology, Special Methods of Examination which includes coma and miscellaneous neurologic signs, and Neurologic Differential Diagnosis. The added material will give readers an understanding as to why the neurologic examination is still a necessary step in this age of advancing technology.
