We’re your partner in creating more engaging lessons, achieving better learning outcomes, and developing career-ready athletic trainers (ATs). With both print and digital formats, our educational tools help AT students connect with complex content and succeed in hands-on practice:
•NEW! Introducing Joint Anatomy for Athletic Training
Created for AT students, Joint Anatomy for Athletic Training follows, chapter by chapter, the body regions detailed in Trail Guide to the Body and dives deep into the structure of joints and their related components—ligaments, tendons, bursae, and surrounding soft tissue. It offers succinct, easy-to-absorb descriptions of the joints that ATs most commonly treat, deepening students' knowledge and understanding of joint anatomy for the assessment of injuries. This new eTextbook features:
oOver 190 new detailed joint anatomy illustrations and 41 new movement videos
oClinically relevant scenarios and interactive examples
oChapter-opening questions that act as a bridge between what students already know and what they are about to learn
oHyperlinked definitions and key concepts available in a single click
o“Connecting the Dots” encourages students to reflect on clinical examples of the concepts they have just read about
oLinking It All Together at the end of each chapter revisits chapter-opening questions to inspire deeper classroom discussion
oAnchoring Brain Builders for students to test what they’ve learned or what material needs revisiting
•Trail Guide the Body: Required by 80% of AT programs
Andrew Biel’s beloved Trail Guide to the Body—the #1 choice for professional AT education programs—is now in the well-trained hands of over 1 million manual therapists, treating countless clients worldwide with care and palpatory precision. This acclaimed textbook makes it easier than ever to teach and for students to acquire a strong foundational understanding of anatomical structures and develop the fine palpation skills needed for the competent clinical assessment. (Available in print and digital formats.)
•Trail Guide to Movement: Brings the subject of human movement alive
Our award-winning Trail Guide to Movement takes the kinesiology principles found in Trail Guide to the Body even further by deepening students’ understanding of how muscles, bones, fascia, joints, and other structures come together to produce human movement. It explores biomechanics, key structures for movement, and principles of posture and gait, all with memorable imagery and straightforward descriptions. (Available in print and digital formats.)
