Description
The second edition of this student textbook describes in detail the skills required to accurately identify and palpate surface structures and landmarks on a living subject through an intact skin. Field covers information undetectable by sight, and aids the practitioner in patient assessment and diagnosis using manual contact techniques. Each page of text faces an illustration, which include marker dots with clear leader-lines to bones, joints, muscles, nerves, arteries and veins.
