Customer Reviews

• Very informative  May 25, 2000 (33 of 33 found this helpful)

  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.

• not bad !  Jan 9, 2004 (7 of 8 found this helpful)

  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 !

• The new edition is an improvement for sure  May 30, 2007 (3 of 3 found this helpful)

  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.

• Definitely comrehensive  Jul 2, 2007 (2 of 2 found this helpful)

  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.

• Joint and Structure - too complicated  Sep 30, 2007 (2 of 3 found this helpful)

  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.
