Book Reviews of The Physiology of the Joints, Volume 1: Upper Limb, 6e
Book Review: Kapandji is Back--and Better than Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't wait for this revised version of the Volume One: Upper Limb to be released, and I was not disappointed. Unlike the traditional Kapandji figures, the volume is in full color, but in the same style of illustration as before. In most cases, the color adds to the understanding of the concept and is not just gratuitous. In addition, however, there is much more detailed explanation of the mechanics, more clinical application, and the addition of some intruiging questions in biomechanics such as "Codman's Paradox" and "Why Does the Forearm Have Two Bones?"
This is a thoroughly delightful expansion of a work that I first discovered in 1976 and which has changed little since then. The drawings remain incomparably lucid, yet detailed. Interestingly, this edition includes an index, something that has been missing from previous editions of any of the 3 volumes. Yet, there is no bibliography, which was included in the 5th Edition of Volume 2: Lower Limb.
My only criticism is that Elsevier has not made a teaching slide set (CD) of the drawings available to those of us who use these in our lectures.
Summary of The Physiology of the Joints, Volume 1: Upper Limb, 6e
This text provides the reader an understanding of the mechanics of the joints with the help of diagrams rather than text. The commentaries are short (on double page spreads); the quality, clarity and simplicity of the drawings and diagrams are such that they could be understood without any verbal explanation. The drawings are unusually clear: everything which could hinder understanding has been removed and one feels that the author has foreseen the difficulties which the student could encounter. Each time a problem arises it is explained by a diagram which, though simplified, is extremely clear.- New functional tests for the shoulder, the elbow and the hand
- Explanation of why the forearm has two bones
- A logical and mathematical explanation of the so called CODMANN Paradox
- New conceptions of the physiology of the carpus
- Clear explanation of notions as DISI and VISI for the pathology of the carpus
- New cotation of the thumb opposition and counter-opposition, presently integrated in the International Evaluation
- Fundamental notion of the complex grip-plus-action, very important for the evaluation of the function of the hand
- Symbolic and affective value of the hand
- A comprehensive board of the motor nerves of the upper limb
- New test to detect an ulnar palsy at the forearm
