JM SULFUR

The main focus of the content is normal muscle function. The core of the product is a collection of interactive 3D animations that you can move and manipulate with your mouse. The animated 3D models can be rotated and moved to show the function of agonist and antagonist muscles during common movements such as raising arms, bending, flexion of spine and neck etc.

It features an interactive 3D skeleton with bones, ligaments, muscles and vessels. Select from a menu of views that allow you to focus on a particular region such as upper body, add and remove anatomy from the model and rotate to view and label all visible structures.

This is great for learning anatomy of bones and muscles and their role in normal muscle function and common gross motor movements.

Contains over 70 muscle function animations. Animations can be played, rotated and all visible structures can be labeled (a new addition for the 2009 version).

Animations can also be exported from the software as short movie files.

Reviews
"Another important tool in the PT tool box. Highly recommend it"
Graham Boylan. Personal Trainer, The Gym, Covent Garden

"The Interactive Functional Anatomy Software has enhanced my professional career more than I could have imagined. I have utilized the software in fitness presentations, as well as client education. The software has enhanced my skills as a manual therapist because I am able to identify muscles precisely and understand their functional synergy with adjacent muscles."
