Books!!!

Books books books....:D As an old teacher of mine used to say that a good physio needs only 2 things " A sophisticated treatment couch and a library full of references"!

Well because i am in a stage whereI "renew" my library and try to get up-to-date textbooks I would like member's opinion about FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY-KINESIOLOGY-BIOMECHANICS books....Of course u cant buy one book that will contain all these but to give an example of what i am looking for, is a book that will be more "extremities"-oriented, meaning not too much about spine mechanics..

Here are some titles that i have marked:

1) PHYSIOLOGY OF JOINTS volume1-3 by Kapandji
2) HOLLINSHEAD FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF THE LIMBS AND BACK by Thompson
3) KINESIOLOGY OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM: FOUNDATIONS FOR REHABILITATION by Neumann
4) MECHANICS AND PATHOMECHANICS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT by Oatis

Does anyone have any comments of feedback on those titles? Or perhapss you can suggest others?

Thanks again for any response!!

Well, the book is no doubt very good and will definitely going to serve all those who are actually finding some ways to get through physiotherapy and I think this book will cover all the topics that are required to learn.

I will suggest this book to one of my friend who really wants to cover some topics and I think this is th best option for him.

Thanks
