This high-quality atlas illustrates a didactic, technical approach in finding the different anatomical structures (bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves) in the lower extremities. The photos are unique in their presentation of the structures. Palpation is used as a diagnostic tool in clinical examination, and these photos are an important tool for the student and clinician. Line drawings indicating appropriate anatomy introduce each section, and serve as another learning tool . The atlas can be used as a textbook in gross anatomy courses and as a reference for beginning practitioners. It will be of interest to students and practitioners in physical therapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, as well as osteopaths and medical, nursing and physician assistants.

Atlas of Palpatory Anatomy of the Lower Extremities : A Manual Inspection of the Surface

Atlases & Maps

McGraw=Hill

This book contains 800 precise black and white photographs (many of which have never appeared in written works before) which are spread out over 12 chapters. They clearly illustrate the surface investigation of the different anatomical structures (bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and neurovascular system) and each is accompanied by a technical description. A reference manual for both students and practitioners, this book is also a methodological guide to a more practical and professional application of anatomy. Written to be both practical and concrete, it is of service to a diagnostic procedure in which palpation is one of the vital methods of clinical examination.

Serge Tixa presents in this highly popular book a method of palpatory anatomy called Manual Exploration of Surface Anatomy (MESA). MESA locates anatomical structures important to clinical examination allowing careful selection of the most appropriate manual therapy technique or manoeuvre. The new edition presents precisely and visually the various anatomical structures with the help of more than 130 colour illustrations and close to 900 black and white photographs. For every photograph showing an anatomical structure accessible to palpation, a model whose physique shows the structure clearly has been chosen. Each chapter has up to four subsections, treating the various aspects of each body region. These cover osteology, myology (musculotendinous structures), arthrology (joints and ligaments) and lastly nerves and blood vessels. Each photograph is carefully presented and accompanied by a section of text describing the method of approach to finding the structure concerned. Whenever necessary, reminders, essential for the proper use of the methods of approach (attachments, actions and innervations) are included. Clinical notes highlight the link between palpation and clinical diagnoses. Atlas of Surface Palpation: Anatomy of the Neck, Trunk, Upper and Lower Limbs is aimed at students and practitioners who need a method of applied anatomy in their practice.

This one-of-a-kind, authoritative text makes palpatory anatomy - the manual investigation of surface forms - come alive. Nearly 70 Netter illustrations and over 700 photographs demonstrate how to identify different anatomical structures (bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves) via palpation. Each section begins with a series of relevant Netter illustrations, followed by detailed photographs, illustrations, and descriptions of gross anatomical structures, regions, topography, and musculature and innervation.

Entre la pratique quotidienne personnalisée et les tests standardisés le praticien manuel est souvent en difficulté. Ce livre n'offre pas de recettes mais montre à travers 125 pathologies de l'appareil locomoteur remontéesdans leur approche diagnostique comment mener à bien l'enquête policière de la démarche clinique et du diagnostic. Les auteurs praticiens expérimentés et enseignants ont eu à coeur de présenter le fruit de leur travail sous forme de fiches standardisées agréables à lire. Pour chaque pathologie la fiche suit un plan systématisé : arbrediagnostique rappel des recommandations iconographie représentative (photo ou radiographie) et synthèse (interrogatoire observation examen articulaire examen fonctionnel diagnostic attitude thérapeutique). Cet ouvrage est donc un outil indispensable au praticien dans son exercice quotidien. Il a été conçu pour être pratique et donc pour permettre un accès rapide à l'information recherchée. Le lecteur masseur-kinésithérapeute ou ostéopathe y trouvera également matière à réflexion et à enrichir sa pratique de façon rationnelle.
