Functional Anatomy for Occupational Therapy

Functional Anatomy for Occupational Therapy provides students with a solid foundation for understanding the science of purposeful movement.

Lead author Nathan Short―a practicing OT―presents functional anatomy across the human life span through an occupation-based lens, in the context of clinical practice.

This highly informative textbook provides:

• A comprehensive, occupation-based approach to functional anatomy, goniometry, and manual muscle testing (MMT)
• An “OT voice” that frames functional anatomy in the context of purposeful movement
• Anatomical illustrations and cadaver-dissection images for unrivalled visual instruction
• Instruction aligned with ACOTE standards and OTPF-4 concepts and terminology
• Goniometry and preparation for licensure exams and clinical practice
• Goniometry and MMT
• The companion e-Textbook, OT Guide to Goniometry, and MMT presents detailed video and photographic instruction for more than 50 common functional movements.

The in-depth orientation and step-by-step demonstrations help students develop these vital assessment skills.
