The Lumbar Spine

<p>This exceptional book is a collection of more than 140 anatomical images documenting the development, maturation and ageing of the lumbar spine and pathologies associated with ageing and injury. It provides a unique guide to support the clinical diagnosis of lumbar spine trauma and pain due to age and injury.</p> <p>The collection represents the extensive research conducted by Professor James Taylor into the lumbar spine gathered from his study of 266 autopsies over almost a decade. It complements <i>The Cervical Spine: An atlas of normal anatomy and the morbid anatomy of ageing and injuries, </i>based on the same collection.</p> <p>With legislative changes now making collection of such work impossible in Australia, this book makes a never-to-be-repeated contribution to the understanding of spinal injury and rehabilitation globally, and will be invaluable for patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment.</p><ul><b> <li>Unique, high-quality images</b> document age-related and injury-induced changes to the lumbar spine</li> <li><b>Combination of wet specimens and stained specimens</b></li> <li><b>Includes many soft-tissue specimens</b></li> <li><b>Unprecedented breadth and diversity</b> in range of injuries covered</li> <li><b>Logical sequence</b> from normal anatomy, through to age-related changes and changes resulting from injury</li> <li><b>Invaluable for students of physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy</b></li> <li><b>An eBook included</b> in all print purchases</li></ul>
