The first tape in this remarkable and beautifully
produced video anatomy atlas explores the fundamental structures of the Upper
Extremity. Tape 1 consists of three sections, describing: The Shoulder, the Arm
and Forearm, and the Hand. The Tapes show you true images of real, exquisitely
dissected human anatomical specimens, in three dimensions. As the camera
moves from one viewpoint to another, the specimen appears to rotate in space,
letting the viewer experience it as a three dimensional object. Acland's
Video Atlas uses fresh, unembalmed specimens that retain the color, texture,
mobility--and beauty--of the living human body. A concise synchronized narration
runs throughout the video. As each new structure is shown, its name appears on
the screen. There is a self-testing feature at the end of each section. A
visible time signal shows where you are in the program. The reference booklet
gives you both an alphabetic and a chronologic index, with time locations for
each structure. For students, Acland's Video Atlas is a time-saving aid
to first-time learning, an effective way to relearn anatomy for clinical
rotations, and a time-efficient tool for review at test time. For clinicians in
training and in practice it assures a swift renewal of anatomic knowledge. For
teachers Acland's Video Atlas shortens the time needed to provide
satisfying explanations of three-dimensional structure.
"I teach Kinesiology to PTA students...an absolute
must for any non-cadaver course in Anatomy or Kinesiology" --Williams H.
Staples, MS, PT, GCS Ivy Tech State College (1997)"One of the best, cleanest
presentations in gross anatomy I have ever seen."--Dr. K. Jackson Thomas,
Medical University of South Carolina (1998)
Now available in DVD format, this product represents Robert Acland's
painstaking efforts to bring human anatomy to life by teaching it in real-time
using fresh tissues. The conversion from video to DVD provides features
including searchable video images and a main menu, table of contents, index, and
a glossary of anatomical terms. The advantages of these new features include
greater accessibility and ease of navigation, improved speed and efficiency, and
high-resolution images.
