Skeletal Structures -
Essential Knowledge for Reflexologists
Introductory Note: Knowledge
of the structures of the hands and feet in particular
is very important. This article illustrates the bones
and some key features of the major bones of the lower
legs and feet, and also the arms and hands. These diagrams
are suitable preparation for, and revision of, courses
in reflexology - and are also useful for courses in
general Human Anatomy and Physiology.
