This was a great book for my Functional Anatomy I class. It gives a great understanding of the human body and the physical dysfunctions the occur.By sgwells
This is a required text for Occupational Therapy Assistants as in it is part of our booklist BUT it is very useful with information that is pretty timeless. If is NOT required, it is still a very important book and would be worth a rental to help over the humps although you may just want to own it. I know many COTAs that keep it as their main reference even after school and certification testing. WARNING: It is a DRY read but more helpful than most out there.By missmiaou
