Review

"This book is an excellent study aid, covering all areas of the essential anatomy, condensed into an easy to read and well-illustrated book. Its colour coordinated sections make it easy to navigate, especially when in a hurry! As well as covering the basic anatomy this book also includes common injuries and a variety of diagnostic scans. I would defiantly recommend this book to all students studying Physiotherapy or working in Physiotherapy as a quick guide to relevant anatomy, that's small enough to fit in your pocket!" "Hannah Cochrane, Physiotherapy Student, University of Liverpool, UK." "Applied anatomy boxes throughout the text put anatomy into clinical context.Very clear diagrams and information on location of ligaments around the joints of the body.Very comprehensive content for a 'pocketbook'.? "Shula Baker, Physiotherapy Student, Keele University, UK." "What a great little book, perfect for taking on placement with you or just having in the workplace as an easy reference book! I have the full version of this book and it is a superb book so this pocket sized edition will allow me to access information when away from home, without having to transport the full version...it contains all the key information you need: so whether a student on the bus revising your anatomy or as a reference in the workplace, it is a brilliant little book." "Linda Wilkinson, Physiotherapy Student, University of Southampton" "This pocketbook nicely fills the gap between basic anatomy and the study of movement as required by physiotherapists. Given it is a small book it covers a wide range of topics and does so without sacrificing essential detail....The anatomical content is well written and precise, covering often complex areas in a manner that is user-friendly- and hence very readable...This pocketbook would make an ideal quick reference book for physiotherapy students of Anatomy and will, due to its clear descriptions and logical style aid understanding of complex anatomical an

Initial Impression:

* Ideal for students/junior level health professionals who need a
through knowledge of anatomy.

* Good if need to refresh anatomy knowledge before an exam.

* Small enough for students to slip in their tunic pocket or have in
their bag when on a placement.

* plastic cover gives duribility without bulkiness

* Filled with clear, colourful illustrations

Good Points
* Applied anatomy boxes throughout the text put anatomy into clinical
context.

* Very clear diagrams and infomation on location of ligaments around the
joints of the body.

* well suited to students in outpatient/orthopedic placements.

* very comprehensive content for a 'pocketbook' although to allow for
this the text is quite small.

* Pages colour coded by 'topic,'e.g upper limb, and index at start of
each chapter to allow quick access to specific area.

* Index at start of each chapter for quick location of

Bad Points
* Lacks infomation on components of functional movements, e.g sit-stand,
walking unlike the full size text.

a must have 11 April 2008
By MB
Format:Vinyl Bound
This book has been in my handbag since I got it. I'm currently revising for exams and it gives me all the anatomy I need to know in bite size pieces from origins and insertions of muscles to courses of nerve and key anatomical structures such as fossae and the carpal tunnel. There's even a bit of applied anatomy covering common pathologies at each site.

It provides a fantastic summary of the detail found in the larger version which I was already a big fan of. I don't think I could ask anymore of this pocketbook. It's a definite must have for any physiotherapy student.

I ordered the book as i am studying sports therapy and need to know everything there is to know about anatomy. I thought it would be alot more helpful if i bought this small version of the book so i can take it around with me for when im on the tube etc.
It was great until i needed some information on pages 160-183.....i found that these pages were not in the book and that there were duplicate pages of the book too. It may have just been my copy but i would check it out when you recieve it.

It is a good book and helpful, it gets 2 stars because it is missing pages and had duplicates
