Preface. The eighth edition of Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing: Techniques of Manual Examination represents a somewhat historic event, for 2 0 0 7 is the 61st year of its life in print. The original authors (Daniels, Williams, and Worthingham) and the current authors have all had long careers in physical therapy, each with close to 60 years of active participation in various roles as clinicians, anatomists, physiologists, and educators. Together in their overlapping careers in physical therapy, they have assured this book a permanent place in the history and literature of the profession. We have not added any substantial new subject material to the text, but have revised most of the test illustrations to better reflect the constituency of the profession. A major addition to the eighth edition is a new DVD produced by Judith Burnfield, PT, PhD, which will especially serve newer readers who use contemporary technology far more than do the partially fossilized authors. We are deeply indebted to Dr. Burnfield for this excellent and prodigious contribution. Muscle Testing is presented as a scholarly book, one shorn of literary scaffolding and designed to be quickly understood by the new learner or used for review by the experienced clinician. Chapter 9, a brief synopsis of human muscle anatomy, will serve to remind the reader of relevant details of location, structure, innervation, and function. The tests included in this book are tried and true, back to the time of Wilhelmine Wright, circa 1907-1928, who first developed analysis of muscle function during the 1914 polio epidemic in New England. Despite the long history of manual muscle testing, the techniques are not such that skill is achieved quickly, regardless of the considerable detail used to describe them. The only way to acquire mastery of clinical evaluation procedures, including manual muscle testing, is to practice over and over again. As experience with patients matures over time, the nuances that can never be fully described for the wide variety of patients encountered by the clinician will become as much intuition as science. The master clinician will include muscle testing as part and parcel of every patient evaluation, no matter whether a formal detailed document is completed, or whether the test is used as a prelude to treatment planning. Muscle testing continues to be among the most fundamental skills of the physical therapist and others who concern themselves with abnormalities of human motion. Our gratitude goes to various persons who helped with the production of this book: Dr. Judith Burnfield for the DVD; Leesha Perryman for her revisions to the chapter on testing infants and children; Yoshi Miyake for the new artwork; Linda Wood, our editor, without whom there would be no eighth edition; and the enlightened staff at Elsevier. For their expert participation in the DVD, we would like to thank Tim Bausch, Julia Burlette, Courtney Few, Judy Gale, JoAnne Gronley, Yogi Matharu, DiDi Matthews, Jacquelin Perry, and Steve Williams. We would also like to acknowledge the superb physical therapists who used manual muscle testing to prove the efficacy of the Salk Polio vaccine in the 1950s (see Dedication). And lastly, we joyfully remember the life and magnificent contributions of Florence Kendall, who died just as this edition was being completed. Helen J .
