David B. Jenkins PhD (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 25, 2002 | ISBN-10: 0721692656 | ISBN-13: 978-0721692654 | Edition: 8

Logically blending regional and systemic coverage of anatomy, this classic resource integrates material for a complete overview of the subject. An easy-to-read narrative style combines with numerous quick-reference tables and clear illustrations to support the text. Functional and clinical information is correlated with anatomical material in Functional/Clinical Notes boxes that offer analyses of everyday activities and associated movements, information on nerve lesions, and study questions and exercises. While focusing primarily on the musculoskeletal system of the limbs and back, this text also provides well-rounded coverage of the entire body with relevant information on the head and neck, thorax, and abdomen and pelvis.

The last reviewer obviously had no idea what she was talking about. The book should be reviewed for its content and not on any printing errors.
This book is a must for all physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists and any other practitioners that deal with musculoskeletal ailments. I've read this book several times and still find myself using it as a reference to understand functional anatomy.
