L’auteur a conçu près de 500 figures en couleurs, toujours placées en regard du texte selon une approche originale où fonctionnalité et intelligibilité de l’information priment. La structure des chapitres – textes aux plans simples et systématiques, tableaux synthétiques – favorise la mémorisation logique. Pour chaque structure anatomique, des indications palpatoires et patho-mécaniques permettent d’affermir les connaissances en soulignant les intérêts pratiques. Cet ouvrage offre une lecture complète de la tête et du tronc : Ostéologie ; Arthrologie ; Myologie ; Appareil fibreux ; Neurologie; Angiologie; Morpho-topographie. Il offre également une auto-évaluation par QROC et chrono-QROC, des clichés de dissection originaux et des planches régionales issues du célèbre Atlas d'anatomie humaine de Franck 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. Cette nouvelle édition a été entièrement actualisée pour offrir au lecteur une information toujours plus précise et pertinente et une adéquation optimale entre le texte et les figures. La partie auto-évaluation s’est enrichie de chrono-QROC, élaboration originale et unique de réponses organisées en fonction du temps.
