In this latest edition of the classic Physical Therapy textbook, the organization of the information has been overhauled and it contains less chapters. I never read the previous editions, but the author claims it is better organized. I found it to be well-organized indeed.

The photos are great, including the classic black/white pictures demonstrating the different tests. The anatomy drawings are very good with excellent detailed descriptions of functional anatomy. The Primal Pictures CD-ROM included with the book is awesome. You can rotate anatomy diagrams 360 degrees while adding and removing anatomical structures such as ligaments, stabilizer and postural muscles, prime movers, veins, arteries, nerves, etc. It's a fantastic tool! I'm currently using some images for a couple of articles I'm writing on corrective stretching and strengthening. It is most certainly a must read for fitness and therapy pros.

I am a College Student currently working with an orthopaedic surgeon. I have no prior experience as a provider of healthcare and have been reading heavily to increase my understanding. This book along with a few other carefully chosen gems has been critical in allowing me to work confidently and competently with the surgeon to provide adequate and appropriate healthcare for the patients. The book is very limited in its scope, however, it doesn't claim to explain anything else so top-rating for the content-just a little broader scope could be beneficial.

This was a required text for a college course. Book arrived quickly and in good shape.

The book was a good basic text, however, it was not user friendly, difficult to follow. The CD Rom that accompanied the book was basically a waste.
