Muscles—Testing and Function.
Abstract
About fifteen years ago, I visited the authors and observed their work at the Children's Hospital School in Baltimore. I was most favorably impressed, as have been scores of other orthopedic surgeons, by the skill with which they were able to detect slight differences of muscle strength or muscle tonus. Although the method of grading muscle power on a percentage basis requires training and judgment greater than most of us have in order to recognize a 5 or 10 per cent variation, the Kendalls definitely do have that ability and judgment. In addition to presenting in an understandable fashion the principles of manual muscle testing, they discuss and emphasize the importance of body mechanics. As an anatomic study alone, this book is well worth while. The illustrations consist of excellent photographs complemented by line drawings. The Kendalls demonstrate how to measure body deficiencies other than mere muscle weakness. Those who

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
