Description:

  • A very careful review of the entire text including all figures and tables has been conducted with the intent of simplifying and clarifying for better understanding when possible.
  • Additional terms, content and concepts in select cases have been added.
  • These include
  • body positions,
  • open vs. close packed joint positions,
  • concave-convex rule,
  • Lombard's paradox, and a
  • lever terminology table.

 

  • Chapters 4 through 11 now have a table detailing how to locate and palpate the key bony and joint landmarks.
  • The labeling and captions in many figures have been enhanced with further details.
  • Terms for the "peroneal" muscles and nerves have been changed to more current international term fibular or fibularis.
  • In many cases fibularis is directly followed by peroneal in parenthesis to avoid confusion.
  • Further details on the plantaris muscle have also been added.
  • Additional references have been added along with some revisions and additions to the review and laboratory exercises, and end-of-chapter worksheets.
  • Additional questions and exercises will continue to be added to the Online Learning Center.
