Excellent Book For Anyone Interested in Physical Rehabilitation
I was introduced to this book by a lecturer at the University of Nottingham. It has more than 650 illustrations some similar to those in the original Grays Anatomy. These are reinforced with simple outlines of a person performing a particular movement. This is displayed showing often complex biomechanical concepts in a relatively simple manner. There are also computer aided pictures showing 3D movements that really reinforce the concept being explained. This is the real plus for this book.

The author - Donald Neumann, is an American Physical Therapist with a Masters and a PhD = so he knows his stuff ! He has been a University lecturer and has published many articles.

It's not a cheap book, but you do get what you pay for.

I recommend this book to physiotherapists and osteopathy students as well as qualified professionals working within rehabilitation.
