Anatomy and human movement : structure and function (Eighth edition)

Since its first publication in 1989, Anatomy and Human Movement has become the seminal textbook for physiotherapy and occupational therapy students in both the UK and internationally. This eighth edition has been fully updated by Professor Emeritus Roger Soames to incorporate the latest evidence and practice.

It provides a clear and detailed account of musculoskeletal structure and function, with self-contained modules, multiple choice questions, illustrations and electronic ancillaries to support both learning and teaching.
