Clinical Physiology, Muscle Centered
An open textbook and learning resource for physical therapy students and clinicians. It starts with a simple premise: begin at the muscle fiber, ask what it needs to generate tension, and every other system — circulation, respiration, renal — comes into focus as support for movement.
Also useful for exercise science, athletic training, and anyone studying human movement.
A Complete Learning Resource
Clinical Physiology Textbook
The full Clinical Physiology: A Muscle Centered Approach — read online with interactive figures, or download the PDF. Written for DPT programs and practicing clinicians.
Interactive Simulations
Explore cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal models hands-on — see how support systems respond to the demands of movement and exercise.
AI Learning Assistant
Ask questions and get explanations grounded in the textbook itself — built to develop mechanistic reasoning, not surface recall.
Integrative Research
Ongoing work on clinical physiology as the mechanistic foundation for clinical reasoning, including the Clinical Inference Engine and models4PT projects.
