Functional Anatomy & Biomechanics
FABIO · Build the foundations of movement. Choose how you want to learn.
Chapters
Coming soon: a guided path from basic mechanics to regional anatomy.
Foundations: movement terminology and planes; forces and vectors; moment arms and torque; static equilibrium; joint mechanics; tissue behavior; skeletal muscle mechanics.
Regional anatomy: shoulder; elbow and forearm; wrist and hand; hip; knee; ankle and foot; cervical spine; thoracic spine and ribs; lumbar spine; sacrum and pelvis.
Practice Questions
In development: original concept checks, diagram questions and worked calculations with explanations for each answer.
The first set will focus on identifying the axis, drawing the forces, finding the perpendicular moment arm and keeping units consistent.
Patient Cases
In development: short applications connecting anatomy and mechanics to everyday movement.
Planned examples include carrying an object, reaching, gripping, single-leg support and stepping.
Downloads
Coming soon: printable calculation worksheets, quick references and study notes.
A consolidated Functional Anatomy & Biomechanics | My PT School Notes PDF is planned. It is not yet available to purchase.
