Since its first publication in 1989, this textbook has become essential for physiotherapy and occupational therapy students in the UK and beyond. The eighth edition has been thoroughly updated by Professor Emeritus Roger Soames, integrating the latest evidence and practices. It offers a detailed account of musculoskeletal structure and function, featuring self-contained modules, multiple choice questions, illustrations, and electronic resources to enhance learning and teaching. This resource is invaluable for anyone studying movement, including students in sport and exercise sciences, orthopaedic health, chiropody, podiatry, chiropractic, osteopathy, and complementary medicine. It also serves as a useful tool for practicing clinicians looking to refresh their knowledge of functional anatomy. The self-contained modules allow users to study at their own pace, while the easy navigation through key concepts, summary boxes, and overviews aids information retention. Each subsection includes learning objectives to provide a structured framework, along with self-assessment questions to reinforce learning. Full-colour illustrations depict anatomy in 3D, and electronic resources offer flexible learning options outside the classroom, including a supplementary e-learning course and various validation tools like outcome measures, animations, videos, quizzes, activity analyses, and MCQ tests.
