Download or read book Neurologic Examination written by Robert J. Schwartzman and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurologic Examination is designed to help medical personnel make a diagnosis for a neurological illness with the patient's history and physical examination. Neurology is logical but requires the physician to localize the lesion to an anatomical part of the neuroaxis and then to develop a differential diagnosis based on this localization. Imaging technology is now superb and buttresses but does not replace the examination. There is no imaging technique that can diagnose a migraine headache. It may, however, demonstrate white matter hyperintensities that are often confused with a demyelinating disease or small vessel disease. A negative MRI of the spine in a patient with clear L5-S1 signs and symptoms such as a weak extensor hallucis longus muscle and a depressed ankle jerk still has overwhelming evidence of L5-S1 pathology.This book leads the physician to the correct localization of a lesion utilizing simple bedside tests. The only tools employed are a reflex hammer and a pin. The illustrations and technique descriptions guide the practitioner through important distinctions with the observation of subtle details.Information gleaned in less than 10 minutes allows the attending to order the pertinent laboratory and imaging studies required to confirm a diagnosis and initiate treatment in the current health care climate.In general, the patient history gives the diagnosis; the neurological examination proves it; modern imaging and laboratory evaluation guides the treatment and predicts the prognosis.Experience with generations of medical students and residents utilizing the techniques illustrated and described in this book have been successful in making reliable neurologic diagnoses easier.

Download or read book Forensic Gait Analysis written by Ivan Birch and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking, using the eye and brain of experienced observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. Since Aristotle’s work on gait analysis more than 2000 years ago, it has become an established clinical science used extensively in the healthcare and rehabilitation fields for diagnosis and treatment. Forensic Gait Analysis details the more recent, and rapidly developing, use of gait analysis in the forensic sciences. The book considers the use of observational gait analysis, based on video recordings, to assist in the process of identification or exclusion. With the increase in use of CCTV and surveillance systems over the last 20 to 30 years, there has been a steady and rapid increase in the use of gait as evidence. Currently, gait analysis is widely used in the UK in criminal investigations, with increasing awareness of its potential use in the US, Europe, and globally. The book details the history of the science, current practices, and of the emergent application to establish best-practice standards that conform to those of other forensic science disciplines. Engagement with the Forensic Science Regulator, and the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences in the UK, and the International Association for Identification has helped to ensure and enhance the quality assurance of forensic gait analysis. However, there remains a fundamental lack of standardized training and methodology for use in evidentiary and investigative casework. This book fills that void, serving as one of the first to describe the current state of practice, capabilities and limitations, and to outline methods, standards of practice and expectations of the gait analyst as a forensic practitioner. Forensic Gait Analysis reflects current research and forensic practice and will serve as a state-of-the-art guide to the use of gait analysis in the forensic context—for both education and training purposes. It will be a welcome addition to the libraries of professionals in the areas of podiatry, gait analysis, forensic video analysis, law enforcement, and legal practice.
