Synopses & Reviews
Functional Anatomy Flash Cards: Bones, Joints and Muscles will help manual therapy students study and review the structures and movement of the skeletal system. This set of 320 full-color cards covers skeletal structures, bony landmarks, joints, and movements of the skeletal system. These cards feature full-color, dynamic artwork from Cael's acclaimed textbook Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Palpation for Manual Therapists.
The set is divided into two unique areas, the first covering functions of bone, types of bones, bones of the human body, joint structure and function, types of joints, bony landmarks (80) covering all regions, levers, movements available for all regions and active, passive and resisted ranges of motion. The second area outlines functions of muscle, fiber directions of muscles, how muscles are named, properties of skeletal muscles, types of muscle contractions, muscles of the human body, muscle profiles (114), and putting it into motion activities(27).
Unique to this set are
- "Putting it in Motion" cards, which allow users to see how bones and muscles work together to create movement.
- Multiple types of review activities that aid in memorization and help to build critical thinking skills.
- Full-color illustrations so that the information is clearer and more compelling
The following are excerpts from faculty reviews of this product:
"These cards would be of great benefit to massage students or any student studying kinesiology."
"Massage and movement therapy students need a good knowledge base in muscle anatomy, palpation and movement. Having flashcards is a nice addition, in my opinion, to facilitating retention of the material presented in the text."
"I like the approach of providing introductory cards to the set that will cover and explain some of the basic information related to bones and muscles instead of just providing bone and muscle cards. I like the fact that there will be cross reference page numbers on the cards with the text. The cards could easily be used for musculoskeletal anatomy, general anatomy and physiology, and used as a quick reference and review in kinesiology."
Synopsis
Functional Anatomy Flash Cards: Bones, Joints, and Muscles will help manual therapy students study and review the structures and movement of the skeletal system. This set of 320 full-color cards covers skeletal structures, bony landmarks, joints, and movements of the skeletal system. The illustrations are repurposed from Cael's textbook, Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Palpation for Manual Therapists. The dynamic overlay art shows the relationship of surface anatomy to structures beneath the skin. Putting It in Motion cards show how the bones and muscles work together in activities of daily living.

The set is divided into two unique areas, one covering skeletal features and illustrating movement, the other outlining functions of muscles. The comprehensive coverage of foundational content as well as specific structures and muscles provides critical information to help users understand human anatomy as manual therapists.
Unique "Putting it in Motion" cards allow users to see how bones and muscles work together to create movement. Multiple types of review activities aid in memorization and build critical thinking skills.
Synopsis
This student workbook is designed to accompany Functional Anatomy: Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Kinesiology, and Palpation for Manual Therapists. The workbook provides exercises, activities, and self-testing opportunities for users of the Functional Anatomy text. It is designed to address multiple learning styles through a variety of activity types.
Synopsis
With the use of dynamic visuals and kinesthetic exercises, Functional Anatomy helps readers to explore and understand the body's structures, regions, layer of the body, from bones to ligaments to superficial and deep muscles. Muscle profiles indicate origin, insertion, and innervation points while step-by-step instructions teach effective bone and muscle palpation.
Readers will also learn how structures help the body move through joint motion, and passive and resisted range of motion techniques. Each region ends with the culmination of structure and function to illustrate how they function together to achieve motion of daily activities as well as the movement involved in sports.
