4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Joint Structure & Function: A Comprehensive Analysis (Hardcover)

This book gives a good and detailed explanation of the the human skeletal structure. The type and function of a joint, the funtions of the ligaments arount a joint, the functions of the muscles around a joint. Not only do the authors explain how each and every joint specifically works but also how the joints work together to do a specific movement along with which muscles are involved. This is a book for anybody interested in studying the musculoskeletal system in detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars The new edition is an improvement for sure, May 30, 2007

Shana Wible (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Joint Structure and Function: A Comprehensive Analysis, Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

I am glad I purchased the updated edition. It has a lot more information and better pictures than the second edition. The case studies they present are a considerably helpful edition as they present the patients symptoms of different pathologies they are profiling, along with the structural and soft tissue components of various pathologies they are describing.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad !, January 9, 2004

max (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joint Structure and Function: a Comprehensive Analysis (Hardcover)

This book is the shorter-black-and-white version of Moore's & Dailey Clinical Oriented Anatomy book. It is quite simple and the illustrations are not Dali's impressions of the female anatomy but for the need-to-know-basis Physical Therapy student it is quite suffiecient.

It is excellent with its questions at the end of each chapter !
