1. The Physiology of the Joints: The Single-Axis Joints - The Two-Axis Joints - The Three-Axis Joints
- This two-volume set is considered a classic reference guide for the biomechanics and physiology of joints. It covers the structure and function of various joint types, including single, two, and three-axis joints, providing detailed insights into joint motion and stability.
2. Functional Anatomy of the Joints: Volume 1 - Upper Limb and Volume 2 - Lower Limb
- These two volumes provide an in-depth analysis of the anatomy and function of the upper and lower limb joints, respectively. Kapandji presents detailed anatomical descriptions and discusses how joint structures influence joint movement and function.
3. The Shoulder: Joint and Muscles
- In this book, Kapandji focuses specifically on the shoulder complex. He thoroughly describes the anatomy of the shoulder joint, discusses various shoulder movements, and offers clinical insights into shoulder pathologies.
4. The Elbow: Joint and Muscles
- Similar to his book on the shoulder, Kapandji provides an in-depth analysis of the elbow joint, delving into its anatomy and function. He discusses various elbow pathologies and presents clinical approaches for their management.
5. The Hand and Wrist: Joint and Muscles
- This work focuses on the intricate anatomy and movements of the hand and wrist, presenting detailed descriptions of joint structures and discussing their role in hand and wrist function.
6. Clinical Manual for Physiotherapists and Clinical Manual for Orthopaedic Surgeons
- These two manuals offer practical guidelines for physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons on the assessment and treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. Kapandji provides step-by-step instructions for joint mobilization techniques and manual therapy interventions.
7. The Spine
- In this comprehensive book, Kapandji explores the anatomy and function of the spine, addressing both the normal and pathological aspects of spinal structures. He discusses the biomechanics of spinal movement, spinal pathologies, and conservative treatment approaches.
These are just a few of the notable publications by Ibrahim Adalbert Kapandji that have greatly contributed to the field of physiotherapy and orthopedic medicine. His works have become essential resources for healthcare professionals and continue to be widely used in physiotherapy education and clinical practice.
