Reviews
'... it gives us the tools not to characterise a population but to place a specific case in one category or another: what clinical medicine is all about ... Refreshingly, the critical features in each distinction mostly emerge from the history or examination, not some sophisticated test only a tertiary centre could access, and the approach to making the distinctions is clearly laid out and, where possible, given its physiological or pathological explanation. In short, the reader has all he needs to perform - clinically - just as the authors would in his place.' Advances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation
