About this ebook
The Functional Anatomy for Occupational Therapy (1st Edition) by Nathan Short, Joel Vilensky, and Carlos A. Suárez-Quian frames human anatomy through an occupation-based lens, focusing on the science of purposeful movement and occupational performance across the lifespan. [1, 2]
The textbook is structured into the following core topics and chapters: [1]
Core Textbook Chapters
  • Chapter 1: Introduction to Occupation-Based Anatomy – Lays the foundation by connecting anatomical structures to purposeful movement and human occupation.
  • Chapter 2: Essential Nervous System – Covers the foundational organization of the nervous system and the peripheral nervous system as they relate to sensorimotor function and motor performance skills.
  • Chapter 3: Spine – Analyzes the anatomy of the spinal column, trunk control, and its relation to extremity function.
  • Chapter 4: Head and Neck – Explores the musculoskeletal structures of the head and neck region.
  • Chapter 5: Shoulder – Details the bones, joints, and muscles comprising the shoulder girdle and their role in functional reach.
  • Chapter 6: Elbow and Forearm – Examines the anatomy governing elbow flexion/extension and forearm pronation/supination.
  • Chapter 7: Wrist and Hand – Focuses on fine motor control, gripping, and upper extremity rehabilitation.
  • Chapter 8: Pelvis and Hip – Covers the pelvic girdle and hip mechanics required for stability and mobility.
  • Chapter 9: Knee, Ankle, and Foot – Investigates the lower extremity structures essential for weight-bearing and movement.
  • Chapter 10: Positioning, Postural Alignment, and Functional Mobility – Evaluates human gait patterns, posture, and positioning relative to occupational performance. [1, 2]
Integrated Clinical Applications & Concepts
  • Assessment Frameworks – Aligns anatomical instruction with ACOTE standards and OTPF-4 (Occupational Therapy Practice Framework) terminology. [1]
  • Clinical Skill Integration – Pairs functional anatomy directly with assessment methods, including Goniometry (measuring range of motion) and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT). [1, 2]
  • Case Studies & Lifespan Adjustments – Focuses on clinical reasoning to identify musculoskeletal limitations and addresses functional movement changes across various life stages. [1, 2, 3]
