Childhood neuromuscular disorders differ from adult diseases and require much experience to evaluate. However, most neurologists trained in EMG have little experience evaluating children or infants. This book, written by a stellar list of world-class experts in pediatric neuromuscular diseases, provides clinicians with the knowledge they need to successfully diagnose and treat their pediatric patients.
Audience
Neurologists (mostly Child Neurologists, Neuromuscular/EMG specialists)
