Anyone have recommendations on good ways to review anatomy? I remember reading somewhere about a coloring book...Anyone have specific recommendations for books/DVDs? Thanks!

Are you in a class now and want advice on studying? Or are you just reviewing for yourself?
I'm at the Harvard Extension School and they have made a point to tell us that the internet has some really good, accurate, comprehensive info, and to take advantage of it. The other thing is flashcards... good old-fashioned flashcards. Those, along with mnemonic devices, are proving very valuable for me. No specific advice on books... it sounds like maybe you're NOT in a class right now? (If so, just wondering, why are you reviewing anatomy?)

I am not currently in class but my last anatomy was 5 years ago. I have a friend who just started a DPT program and is completely overwhelmed with anatomy. And I know DPT is different, but I figured it would be wise to review anatomy before I start grad school in the fall.
Gotcha. Personally I would probably just review my textbook, but you may not still have it. You should search amazon for review books - I know there are exam review books, etc..
Also, if you google, there is a wealth of info out there - lots of animations, lots of interactive review sites (where it asks you questions which you answer.)

Look into DVDs by Primal. They are three dimensional, have quizzes and tests, and you can rotate,zoom, and highlight things that you don't recognize and text will pop up describing the tissue and its function. There are animations to demonstrate movement patterns and each anatomical image can be looked at as an MRI image. They are a bit expensive but they are FANTASTIC. As far as texts, the Netter book is my favorite but I think that books are going to be a thing of the past with these Primal DVDs.
What schools are you applying to? I know that Texas Tech and UTHSCSA use the Netter Atlas for sure and it is pretty amazing! Extremely useful and very relevant. Undergrad anatomy does not prepare you for what we are expected to know in graduate school! Start studying early if you can!
At my school, our gross anatomy class was combined with DPT, physician assistant and respiratory care students, so it won't necessarily be that different from the class your friend is taking.
I found Wynn-Kapit's coloring book and Netter's flashcards to be helpful. I also drew out pictures from the atlas. The most effective way to pass gross anatomy, however, is to spend time in the lab.
Are you in OT school now? If not, when do you start? I'm not trying to intimidate you, but anatomy encompasses such a large volume of information, that reviewing what you're learned at an undergraduate level may not necessarily be helpful. Believe me, you will spend plenty of time studying once you actually get there, and everything you learned before will be reinforced.
So, I guess what I'm saying is, don't worry too much about it until it is time to worry about it 🙂

Haha 🙂 Thanks for the advice. I am worried about it, but I'll try to take your advice!
No problem! I was worried too before I took the class and considered studying in advance, but then once I got there, I realized it wouldn't have helped much. Your first week or two may be rough, but then you get used to it, and you'll be surprised at how much info you're able to retain.
