With the use of dynamic visuals and kinesthetic exercises, Functional Anatomy, Enhanced Edition helps readers to explore and understand the body's structures, regions, layer of the body, from bones to ligaments to superficial and deep muscles. Muscle profiles indicate origin, insertion, and innervation points while step-by-step instructions teach effective bone and muscle palpation.

Readers will also learn how structures help the body move through joint motion, and passive and resisted range of motion techniques. Each region ends with the culmination of structure and function to illustrate how they function together to achieve motion of daily activities as well as the movement involved in sports.

Features and Benefits

Dynamic Artwork: Full color photos include anatomical artwork of the body's structures from skeletal structures to muscle attachments, ligaments and joints to superficial and deep muscles, all reviewed by expert anatomists. Detailed art offers the student a layer-by-layer view of the structures beneath the skin to better understand their location as they practice manual therapy.
User-friendly Organization: Regional chapters are organized in a consistent and structured format that makes learning and study easier.
Muscle Profiles pertinent to each region include an illustration of the muscle, and identify origin, insertion, fiber arrangement and direction, as well as step-by-step instructions for palpating the muscle.
