This text provides the reader an understanding of the mechanics of the joints with the help of diagrams rather than text. The commentaries are short (on double page spreads); the quality, clarity and simplicity of the drawings and diagrams are such that they could be understood without any verbal explanation. The drawings are unusually clear: everything which could hinder understanding has been removed and one feels that the author has foreseen the difficulties which the student could encounter.

Understand the clinical relevance of anatomy the Netter way! Netter's Clinical Anatomy, 2nd Edition, by John T. Hansen, PhD, is an anatomy resource that clearly provides a comprehensive understanding of complex clinical anatomical concepts. Nearly 600 beautifully colored illustrations offer essential depictions of normal and pathologic anatomy and embryology, accompanied by supportive text to help you understand their clinical relevance. Short-answer review questions at the end of each chapter help you gauge your mastery of the material, and convenient online access equips you with the complete contents of the book, as well as additional illustrations and study questions. The result is a thorough but quick introduction to basic and clinical anatomy as well as a fast review source.

For the first time, technology allows unparalleled animations of gross motor movement that show how groups of muscles become active during common motions such as jumping, walking, and running. Interactive Functional Anatomy, Second Edition, answers a clearly identified need in the teaching and understanding of body musculature and motion. This is an excellent resource with painstaking attention to detail and dynamic imagery. The software features computer graphic models of human anatomy derived from MRI scan data, and fully interactive 3-D animations show function. Pop-up labeling appears as you view the 3-D models, and you can click on any structure to bring up related text and all related animations of muscular function.

If you want to differentiate your psoas from your scalenes or just want to ace the next quiz, you'll find the answer here. This handbook follows the chapters and structures as they are arranged in the Trail Guide to the Body textbook. A resourceful complement, this handbook contains 220 pages and 450 illustrations. It offers a variety of questions and exercises including fill-in-the-blanks, drawings to color, illustrations and matching exercises.

As the human body moves, muscles contract and relax, creating subtle changes in body contours and shifting patterns of light and shadow on the skin's surface. Visualizing exactly what happens beneath the skin to cause these changes on the surface is an essential skill for artists, physicians, physical therapists, and body builders — for anyone who needs to understand the body in motion. Why not paint a live model to look as though his skin had been stripped off and then photograph him in multiple poses? From that idea comes Visualizing Muscles, an innovative aid to drawing, sculpting, and learning surface anatomy. More than one hundred static and active poses are included in Visualizing Muscles. Paired photographs — one painted and labelled, one not — show how the simulated muscles produce the subtle lights and darks, hills and valleys, on the model's unpainted skin. Captions highlight the muscles called into play by a given pose.

The first systematic textbook on motor control, this authoritative study synthesizes physiology, neuroanatomy, kinesiology and psychology to provide a thorough introduction to the subject. The book deals with posture and movement, adaptation, motor learning, and guidance by the limbic system. Superbly illustrated; many clinical examples.
