"...a new edition of a classic text...correlates functional and clinical information with detailed explanations of anatomy...thoroughly revised and updated, but maintaining user-friendly presentations and clear illustrations." Hollinshead's Functional Anatomy of the Limbs and Back logically blends regional and systemic coverage of anatomy, integrating material for a complete overview of the subject. An easy-to-read narrative style combines with numerous quick-reference tables and clear illustrations to support the text. Functional and clinical information is correlated with anatomical material in Functional/Clinical Notes boxes that offer analyses of everyday activities and associated movements, information on nerve lesions, and study questions and exercises. While focusing primarily on the musculoskeletal system of the limbs and back, this text also provides well-rounded coverage of the entire body with relevant information on the head and neck, thorax, and abdomen and pelvis. The new 8 th edition features additional functional information, revised terminology, new questions, and many new and revised illustrations. Features
