Description
The third edition of Derek Field's "Anatomy, Palpation and Surface Markings" outlines the skills required to identify, understand and palpate structures through an intact skin. This informative text unlocks a vast quantity of information unavailable to the eye and aids the practitioner in assessment and diagnosis of conditions using manual contact techniques. The text also includes new information on clinical tips, sports injuries and accessory movements. This text is designed for students and practitioners of medicine, physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and nursing, and indeed all those for whom the accurate location and palpation of surface structures is an essential skill whether used to determine a diagnosis or apply treatment.
