The Physiology of the Joints, conceived and written more than forty years ago by Dr. A. I. Kapandji, deals with biomechanics, a subject until then mentioned only incidentally in textbooks of anatomy. Following his lead, every anatomy textbook nowadays has a large component devoted to the functional aspect of the locomotor system, which has become an essential scientific subject. This is the first of three volumes in the brand new 7th edition.

The seventh edition of this volume deals with the upper limb and has been expanded with the inclusion of new diagrams and text. In particular it explains:

the concepts of DISI and VISI, employing the author's own ""parable of the three friends""

the transition to bipedalism

automatic swinging of the upper limb during walking

the extension of the body schema through the hand

prehension during evolution

This book is intended for medical and physical therapy students; and for practising physicians and surgeons wishing to increase their knowledge of the functional anatomy of the locomotor system.

Dr Adalbert Kapandji (1928-2019) needs hardly any introduction. He is a globally renowned figure among physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons. After a long career as an orthopedist and hand surgeon, and a member of several international societies in these disciplines, Dr Kapandji devoted his time to the revision of his classic three-volume work Physiology of the Joints, now translated into 11 languages. As well as the text, Dr Kapandji also created the superb color drawings that give this masterwork its distinctive flavor. Carrie Owerko is a renowned yoga and movement teacher with a vast international following. She has travelled throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and North and South America to share her unique interdisciplinary approach, which weaves movement and exercise science principals into her decades-long study of yoga. She has taught at Kripalu, Triyoga London, Omega Institute, Iyengar Institutes internationally, and many other venues. Carrie created a series of best-selling online courses for Yoga Journal, and has been featured in Yoga International, Prevention Magazine, The New York Times, and other publications. Recently, Carrie founded The Playground, a virtual studio and library where she imparts her intelligent, playful and evolving approach to yoga and movement with students globally. Carrie has been a mover, dancer, and athlete throughout her life. Early on, this love of all forms of movement led her to the study of performance. After earning a BFA in Dance and Theater from Loretto Heights College, she attended and graduated from the renowned Neighborhood Playhouse Theater School in NYC. She then spent several years working for a movement/educational/experimental theater company called The Irondale Ensemble Project. After Irondale, she continued her movement inquiries and became a Movement Analyst (CMA), having completed her studies at The Laban Institute in NYC. Her passion for continuous movement exploration also took her into a decades-long, in-depth study of yoga. She eventually earned a Senior Level Iyengar teaching credential. Additionally, she is a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist, among other certifications.
