This book is a treasure trove of pearls and practical points. The emphasis of clinical correlation to EDX findings is invaluable. The case study format drives home the importance of the history and physical, and how it guides the EDX study to arrive at a logical conclusion. Electromyography in Clinical Practice is an outstanding text for the physician in training as well as the practicing physician. * Andrew Dubin, MD, MS, Professor of PM&R, Interim Chair Department of PM&R, Albany Medical College, Albany NY 12208 *
