Mastering Muscles & Movement – Enhanced E-book (MMM) is an interactive digital resource for learning the muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and movements of the human body. The e-book includes a print replica of the physical book, plus 290 additional pages of supplementary material specifically designed for digital learning. It has extensive interactive navigation features to easily access all sections of the book, and to link tables and figures in the main text to the detailed supplementary material in the appendices.

Using a replica of the physical textbook maintains the organization and page layouts that are essential for the book's brain-friendly approach. Learn more about the approach used in the physical book here: Physical Book Description.

This Enhanced E-Book version of MMM contains a fixed-page replica of the 254-page physical textbook, and it has 290 pages of supplementary digital material in Appendices added to the end of the book. The list below outlines the enhancement features added to the e-book.

  Navigation

Innovative clickable buttons throughout the e-book allow the reader to navigate easily between book sections, and to navigate the two-page spreads and overlayed images that are provided in the physical book. Also, clickable images in the main text directly link tables and figures to expanded information in the appendices.

  Appendix 1 - Muscle Detail Cards (175 pages)

Each page is a full treatment of an individual muscle, presented using the MMM brain-friendly approach (visual, verbal, relational). These "cards" are linked to the Muscle Origin/Insertion/Action tables in Chapters 4-6 of the main text, so the reader can jump to a Muscle Detail Card and then jump back to the muscle table they are studying.

  Appendix 2 - Action Pair Cards (75 pages)

Each page presents all the muscles associated with a specific pair of opposing actions (for example, flexion and extension of the humerus at the shoulder joint). This creates brain-friendly displays of the synergists and antagonists for the actions at all the bones and joints of the body. These "cards" are linked to the Synergist & Antagonist tables in Chapters 4-6 of the main text, so the reader can jump to an Action Pair Card and then jump back to the table they are studying.

  Appendix 3 - Joint Detail Cards (40 pages)

Appendix 3 provides a detailed look at the joint structure and ligaments for all the joints of the body. It is organized to match Muscle Groups 1 to 13 as presented in Chapters 4-6 of the main text. Each card is directly linked to a muscle group “Joints & Actions” page in Chapters 4-6. More info: Using the Joint Detail Cards (PDF 3.76MB)
