  • Atlas de anatomía palpatoria. Tomo 2. Miembro inferior

    • 6 Edición
    • Serge Tixa
    • Español
    Desde su primera edición, este Atlas de anatomía palpatoria se ha consolidado como la herramienta de referencia para comprender la anatomía práctica y clínica del miembro inferior. Permite un mejor abordaje diagnóstico, ya que la palpación constituye una de las etapas clave de la exploración física, y una mejor aplicación de las técnicas manuales (articulares, miotensivas y de neuromovilización). La obra está organizada en cuatro partes: Osteología, Artrología, Miología y Nervios y vasos, y presenta de forma concreta las diferentes regiones anatómicas (cadera, muslo, rodilla, pierna, tobillo y pie), mediante 60 láminas anatómicas en color y cerca de 450 fotografías en blanco y negro, captadas todas ellas en personas vivas, que permiten apreciar con más claridad y precisión los volúmenes y las estructuras anatómicas (huesos, tendones, músculos, superficies articulares y ligamentos). Fiel al espíritu de la edición previa, esta sexta edición ofrece un contenido desglosado en estructuras y regiones anatómicas, conforme a los programas docentes, todo ello con un diseño en color que facilita la localización de los contenidos. Esta sexta edición incluye imágenes y láminas anatómicas revisadas y actualizadas (números en las estructuras palpadas, contraste de las imágenes); fotografías optimizadas que permiten una mejor legibilidad de los volúmenes; y nuevas flechas en la punta de los dedos del terapeuta que realiza la palpación, para mayor precisión.
