The fully illustrated, go-to text bridging the gap between concept and application has been updated with the latest on gene therapy and genetic testing

Lou Gehrig''s Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, and Degenerative Muscle Diseases are just some of the many neuromuscular disorders that practicing neurologists must understand inside and out, and this text—popular for its consistent message and engaging style—is the leading resource on the subject.

Comprehensive in scope yet concise enough for on-the-spot reference, Amato and Russell’s Neuromuscular Disorders, Third Edition provides everything readers need to diagnose and treat neuromuscular disease. The expert author team delivers key insights into nerve and muscle conditions, including neuropathies, myopathies, and neuromuscular junction disorders.

Neuromuscular disorders are a core rotation for neurology residents, and compose the largest single section of the ABPN certification exam in neurology—making this an invaluable resource for anyone studying for the test.

The book includes chapters on:

• Testing in Neuromuscular Disease
• Muscle and Nerve Histopathology
• Genetic Testing
• Gene Therapy
• Principles of Immunomodulating Treatment
• Rehabilitation of Neuromuscular Diseases
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
• Hereditary Spastic Paraparesis
• Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Related Disorders
• Neuropathies Associated with Infections
• Idiopathic Polyneuropathy
• Focal Neuropathies of the Lower Extremities
• Muscular Dystrophies
• Congenital Myopathies
• Metabolic Myopathies
• Mitochondrial Disorders
