Palpation Techniques

About this book

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.
