Main description:

Praise for the previous edition:
Students who desire to become
competent in palpation as well as experienced clinicians who seek a strong
review of palpation will find this text an excellent learning
resource.--Christopher Hughes, PhD, Slippery Rock
University

This completely updated second edition of Palpation
Techniques is a
beautifully illustrated guide with clear, step-by-step descriptions that teaches
readers how to identify and then distinguish between various body structures. It
includes more than 800 full-color photographs of models with detailed drawings
of muscles, bones, and tendons sketched directly onto their skin, and
complementary color illustrations showing the functional significance of each
anatomic region.

Key Features of the Second Edition:

• New palpation
  techniques for the shoulder
• New photos and illustrations for the hand,
  hip, and foot
• Additional study questions and updated
  references

This revised edition will enable physical therapy and osteopathy
practitioners and students to refine their knowledge of anatomy and thus
optimize patient care.
