From Abrahamson

Muscle testing : A Concise Manual serves as a guide for understanding how structure and function are related and how understanding function enables us to comprehend structural configurations . Muscular anatomy is frequently taught as a dry subject in which each muscle is meticulously reviewed and the student is expected to list its origin , insertion , action , nerve supply and blood supply .

This strategy is frequently utilized , although it may not always help us comprehend how muscles work or how they are positioned . Muscle testing gives one a better understanding of how muscles work both individually and collectively . The fuller picture of muscle function and dysfunction is provided by knowledge of symmetrical movement , range of motion , contractile patterns , resistance and gravity .

The organization of the material makes it possible for the reader to comprehend anatomical location and the evaluation of muscular contractile strength .To help readers  comprehend muscle placement and testing postures , the manual includes drawings that are pertinent to movement .Links to videos of each test are provided to further enhance this . The book gives a summary of the most important anatomical facts and statistics , instructions for performing muscle testing using a variety of  methodologies and clinically useful data to support the tests .
