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.

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.

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 !

If you really want and in-depth understanding of movement of all the joints, this is the book for you. If you are a book nerd who wants to learn how to APPLY that knowledge in the clinic, training room or gym facility, study this book. It has helped me tremendously.

This is an excellent text combining function and pathology.
Great revisions from the 2nd edition originally purchased.
A great source to have at your desk in the clinic or at home.

Lots of technical information. Useful stuff but not an easy read. Wish it could be broken down into basic concepts then advanced details if needed.

This really is the most comprehensive analysis of function and movement book available. Perfect condition.

This book is required for my class and is terribly wordy and complicated! I think that more pictorial instruction would be greatly beneficial. A supplemental DVD to show examples of clinical scenarios would also be helpful for visual learners.

very informative book, definitely a great resource for anyone wanting to understanding Gods creation and know how to navigate through it.

The book I purchased is exactly what I wanted, it was in great shape (brand new) and finding the book on the search engine was very easy.
