Product Description:

This illustrated dictionary covers the musculoskeletal system combining lucid, authoritative definitions with Dr. John Melloni's world-famous color illustrations. Designed primarily for physical therapy and occupational therapy students, the dictionary covers more than 4,600 terms with a careful balance of concise descriptive text and single-concept color illustrations. It offers quick and easy access to musculoskeletal information usually buried in anatomy textbooks, contains more -and better-illustrations than other PT/OT textbooks, and more illustrations of ligaments than any anatomy textbook. "When I was teaching gross anatomy at a school of medicine, I was constantly aware that it was rare that the fourth-year student could pass a first-year anatomy examination. It has been shown convincingly, however, that those who have made proper use of well-conceived illustrations still possess a remarkable comprehension and retention of anatomy. The illustrations make an indelible imprint."-Author's preface
