Anatomic Localization for Needle EMG

Like

Good useful book for both beginners and practitioners. Easily understood and has excellent illustrations. Complements "Aids to examination of the peripheral nervous system."

A good useful reference for EMG muscle localization. It has most of the muscles you would need to look up, although not all. Good buy for the price and easy to use

We use this book in our PM&R residency training program for teaching EMG. It has the classic muscles used for needle EMG. Pictures are excellent and descriptions are worth their weight in gold.

I am training to be a clinicial neurophysiologist and so I needed a good book on muscle anatomy and needle insertion. There are a number of books that already exist but they appear to be quite expensive so when I found this on Amazon I thought why not?As far as I can tell there are no muscles missing from the book and I have learned some new techniques from this book which have improved my clinical practice.One downside is the book is in black and white and a little bit of colour would have been nice. Also, the pathway of innervation to muscles is not stated as in some other texts.Considering the price of this book, I would recommend it to anyone learning the art of EMG.

Including cross sectional anatomical cartoon is a welcome improvement from the earlier edition.Botox injectors may not get all what they expect out of such books, many of the key muscles for them are left out for examples many of the muscles injected for complex cervical dystonias, of jaw dystonias. Over all a good book.
