Synopsis

For many, it is a challenging task to remember the functional anatomy of muscles. Understanding Muscles addresses this by using an interactive learning approach where the reader is required to shade or highlight the muscles where indicated on skeletal outlines. A comprehensive introduction shows the reader how to make the most of this accessible book. Following on from this is a general chapter on muscles and movement. In subsequent chapters each muscle is detailed and placed in the context of the joint over which it operates. Students in physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports science, occupational therapy, chiropractice and nursing will find this book essential for learning and revision.
