    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Tool! Must Read For Fitness & Therapy Practitioners!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    In this latest edition of the classic Physical Therapy textbook, the organization of the information has been overhauled and it contains less chapters. I never read the previous editions, but the author claims it is better organized. I found it to be well-organized indeed.

    The photos are great, including the classic black/white pictures demonstrating the different tests. The anatomy drawings are very good with excellent detailed descriptions of functional anatomy. The Primal Pictures CD-ROM included with the book is awesome. You can rotate anatomy diagrams 360 degrees while adding and removing anatomical structures such as ligaments, stabilizer and postural muscles, prime movers, veins, arteries, nerves, etc. It's a fantastic tool! I'm currently using some images for a couple of articles I'm writing on corrective stretching and strengthening. It is most certainly a must read for fitness and therapy pros.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Recommended by my group of physical therapists as an essential to their libraries, I find it equally valuable for the aging fellow experiencing the aches and pains that accompany life past 60. This is not a book for the faint of pocket book as it is a text book and commands the inflated price.
    If you don't have frequent need for a muscle reference, I wouldn't spend the money, but it you like a complete story related to aches and pains of particular muscles, this is a nice book to own. I suspect that like airplanes, summer cabins, and box seats to the Yankees games, it is something you'd like your best friend to own.

    In the fields of fitness, physical therapy, sports, orthopedics or anatomy and biomechanical interest, this book is a classic that should prove invaluable to you. It can help professionals or laypeople discover muscular imbalances, injuries and causes of pain in their bodies or the bodies of others.

    It is clearly and well presented, very well-researched and accepted in the medical field. My main profession is fitness and health trainer and this book is a tremendous contribution to my practice.

    Verified Purchase
    I bought this as a gift for my fitness trainer who is has a degree in Kinesiology. The book is technical enough for him and yet written plainly enough for me to understand. It became clear that his work with me on improved posture and range of motion was warranted. The book made it plain to see.

    However, I wouldn't recommend the book for anyone that isn't interested in textbook type information. It is thorough and technical and very textbook-like.

    I got this book as a learning Personal Trainer for Posture and Flexibility Tests, I do not regret every penny I spent on this book it really is good.

    Although It didn't fill all the gaps in my knowledge, it certainly is an amazing book with a huge wealth of knowledge. i haven't used the muscle strength tests as I am not qualified as a Pysiotherapist and I am certainly still happy.

    I like the illustration of abdominal muscle fibres!
    I like the detail and accuracy of the information written.

    I could go on...

    筋力評価関係ではDaniels and Worthigham's Muscle testingと双璧をなすのではないでしょうか。どちらが良いかは、個人の好みがかなり入ってくると思います。
