Anatomy for Movement - Introduction to the analysis of body techniques
Blandine Calais-Germain / François Germain

For almost forty years, through five successive editions, this book has provided easy access to the basics of anatomy for anyone studying anatomy and/or practising a body technique.

It describes the musculoskeletal system with abundant "volume" illustrations: more than 1,100 commented drawings show the bones, joints and muscles in direct relation to the first movement situations that concern them.

The following are covered in turn:

* the trunk region: spine, pelvis, rib cage.

* the upper limbs: shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand.

* the lower limbs: hip, knee, ankle, foot.

For each region, the commentary deals successively with:

* the morphology of the region

* the movements made by this part of the body

* the bones, joint structures and various muscles.

The new edition of this reference book - translated into 19 languages and distributed in over 40 countries - has been enhanced with 100 QR codes to give a clearer view of the structures described in the text, providing a new tool for understanding anatomy.
