Anatomy of the Moving Body: A Basic Course in Bones, Muscles, and Joints

Anatomy of the Moving Body is a complete course in muscles, bones, and joints designed specifically for movement educators, students, and anyone interested in learning more about how the body works.

In this new and completely updated 3rd edition, Ted Dimon brings to life the structure and mechanics of the body in motion. Featuring over 160 all-new color illustrations, this book contains 31 chapters, each covering a distinct region of the body. Muscles, bones, and joints are not only named but also explained using down-to-earth language. Topics include anatomical terminology, origins and attachments of muscles and their related actions, discussion of major functional systems such as the pelvic and shoulder girdle, and clear descriptions of joints and how they work.

With Anatomy of the Moving Body, Dr. Theodore Dimon—an internationally recognized expert in musculoskeletal health and function—has created a clear and beautifully illustrated reference for students of anatomy and movement.
