This text encourages the reader to interactively learn each muscle function by encouraging them to shade muscles on skeletal outlines, text and observe muscle functions and apply muscle function knowledge to clinical settings. Chapters describe the anatomical terminology and movements, the muscle types and how they move. Subsequent chapters describe the muscles of the body in the order of the joints that they operate.
This companion volume to the author's Understanding Muscles, an introductory text for students of physiotherapy, osteopathy, and orthopedics, follows the same format as its predecessor. After a brief introduction to the general topic, separate chapters are devoted to the major joint groups, with much attention paid to the various parts of the vertebral system. Also included are chapters on the pelvis, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot joints. Black and white illustrations are provided throughout the text. Distributed by ISBS.
