      This book covers most skeletal landmarks that are palpable through manual palpation and virtual palpation (i.e., using 3D models generated from medical imaging). Each chapter focuses on a particular bone or segment and includes: a general anatomical presentation of the bone SL (using images showing real specimens and 3D bone models); very detailed descriptions of skeletal landmarks using manual palpation and virtual palpation. These definitions have been written in order to be reproducible. Each section includes detailed descriptions of all palpable skeletal landmarks for the current bone. Each landmark is described on one page. Also each landmark page is labelled by a unique acronym. The latter should be used for further data exchange and programming in order to guarantee that no redundant label exists.

Cet ouvrage de référence offre au lecteur une anatomie complète du tronc et du tronc : Ostéologie ; Arthrologie ; Myologie ; Appareil fibreux ; Rappel des organes pelviens ; Neurologie ; Angiologie ; Morpho-topographie. Il est enrichi d'une auto-évaluation par QROC, de clichés de dissection originaux, et de planches régionales issues du célèbre atlas de Frank Netter. Premier ouvrage tenant compte de l'ensemble du programme d'anatomie des études de kinésithérapie, il s'adresse avant tout aux étudiants de cette discipline mais également à tous les étudiants concernés par l'anatomie de l'appareil locomoteur, ainsi qu'aux professionnels, kinésithérapeutes ou médecins, qui trouveront là un document facile à consulter.

      This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Many medical and health professional schools have replaced their traditional curriculum with problem based learning, or a derivative. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive guide and resource for students in the early years of these courses, and will assist them to adapt their learning style to working with others in small groups. The book explains the differences between PBL and traditional learning, the aims and essential elements of PBL, and provides the keys for successful group discussion. Students are shown how to define the learning issues and how to construct their own mechanisms for each case they study, before moving on to the aims and tools commonly used in assessment, and tips for increasing scores in examinations. The book will also assist tutors to design cases.
