Reviews

"Overall, the CD is well organized with a user-friendly format. I recommend this CD to students and educators looking for an interactive tool for manual muscle testing."

— Peter J. van Twuyver, MPT, OCS, Cert. MDT, STC, CSCS, Advance for Physical Therapists and PT Assistants

"The CD-ROM is excellent as a tutorial for manual muscle testing...which I wish was around while I was muddling my way through manual muscle testing in PT school. It is an easy, interesting tool to use, and students can make smooth transitions from academia to clinic with such a tool."

— Aaron M. McBride, PT, ATC, Doody Publishing
