Thieme Atlas of Anatomy: General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System, Fourth Edition, by renowned educators Schuenke, Schulte, and Schumacher, with consulting editors Cass and Johnson, expands on its award-winning legacy. Detailed musculoskeletal illustrations elucidate understanding of bone, joint, ligament, and muscle structure; innervation of muscles; action of joints and muscles; and diseases or trauma of the bones, joints, and muscles. This atlas is divided into four sections, starting with General Anatomy?from human phylogeny and ontogeny to general neuroanatomy. The three subsequent sections, the Trunk Wall, Upper Limb, and Lower Limb, are systemically organized, presenting bones, ligaments, and joints; musculature; and neurovascular, followed by topographical overviews in each group. Anatomic concepts and clinical applications are introduced through illustrations, explanatory text, and summary tables, thereby supporting classroom learning and dissection in the laboratory. Key updates include enhanced coverage of female anatomy, a new section dedicated to muscle fasciae, and revised illustrations reflecting gender and ethnic diversity. The atlas boasts over 2,100 illustrations by Voll and Wesker, including updated figures. Clinical imaging is integrated, and anatomical variations are highlighted. This edition is an invaluable resource for students and instructors in physical therapy, osteopathic medicine, chiropractic, and related fields, as well as practicing therapists, yoga instructors, and artists.
