Joint Anatomy for Athletic Training offers succinct, easy-to-absorb descriptions of the joints that ATs most commonly treat, deepening students’ knowledge and understanding of joint anatomy for the assessment of injuries.

Student interactive features:

• Over 190 new detailed joint anatomy illustrations and 41 movement videos
• Clinically relevant scenarios and interactive examples
• Hyperlinked definitions and key concepts available in a single click
• “Connecting the Dots” encourages students to reflect on clinical examples of the concepts they have just read about
• Chapter-opening questions that act as a bridge between what students already know and what they are about to learn
• Linking It All Together at the end of each chapter revisits chapter-opening questions to inspire deeper classroom discussion
• Anchoring BrainBuilder Quizzes for students to test what they’ve learned or what material needs revisiting
