3d anatomy and stroke rehab

I've always thought that survivors need to understand anatomy.
Anatomy of Pilates $199

My OT had a copy of this and it looked fascinating. You could move various limbs and agonist and antagonist muscles would be color coded so you could tell what was working vs. relaxing. At the time it only cost $80 but since my computer didn't have a DVD drive I didn't get it. It was great to see muscles in 3d rather than just flat depictions in an anatomy book.
This site also has demos and a free trial http://www.muscleandmotion.com/
I haven't gotten google body maps to work yet so that might be another possibility.

And you could stump your therapists.
