Mosby's Dissector for the Rehabilitation Professional: Exploring Human Anatomy, 1e

Designed specifically to meet the unique needs of students studying to become rehabilitation professionals - including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and chiropractors - this full-color dissection guide helps you connect discoveries in the dissection lab with function and pathology. With the necessary technical information you need - including content on applied anatomy, embryology, and structural histology - in 25 laboratory exploration chapters, this unique guide uses case studies and critical thinking exercises to encourage you to explore human anatomy, synthesize your findings, and apply your knowledge to clinical practice.

• Extensive coverage of the musculoskeletal and nervous system emphasizes the information on muscles, vertebral column, and the upper and lower extremities that you need as a rehabilitation health professional.
• Clinical cases, thought-provoking questions, clinical notes, and review exercises encourage you to explore through dissection and apply what you’ve learned to real-life practice.
• Sections on embryology and histology provide important insights into the origin and nature of adult anatomy and follow the national guidelines for physical therapy anatomy curricula.
• References to the most popular human anatomy atlases - Netter’s, Gray’s, Grant’s, and Clemente’s - allow for flexibility of use in any program.
• Emphasis on variations in anatomy reinforces the real-life diversity among patients.
• Over 200 full-color illustrations clearly demonstrate anatomy and dissection processes.
