Description

The fourth edition of Motor Disorders reinforces the reputation gained by earlier editions. The book gives a detailed and practical account of motor disorders that will appeal to specialists as well as to general physicians and trainees while providing a convenient but thorough summary of advances in the field. The book brings together the entire spectrum of motor disorders and thereby aids in the evaluation, diagnosis, and distinction of these various disorders. Through the perspectives of many subspecialties, this book provides accounts of all disorders with motor manifestations, providing a truly comprehensive but concise account of the subject matter.

Motor Disorders, by David S. Younger has been used by generations of neurologists and neurosurgeons. I will be sharing the new Fourth Edition with my colleagues and trainees.

Jafar J. Jafar, MD, Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgeon-in-Chief, NYU Langone Medical Center
Motor Disorders, Fourth Edition by David S. Youngeris a comprehensive treatise on anatomy, physiology, pathology, imaging, genetics, and management of motor disorders. Superbly illustrated and explained, patient-based approach to motor disorders of both central and peripheral nervous system is outlined in this book. The author is to be commended for an up-to-date single authored unique book. I would highly recommend this to neurology residents and practicing neurologists.
