Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System. Foundations for Rehabilitation

Description

With its focus on the normal and abnormal mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body, Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition provides a foundation for the practice of physical rehabilitation. This comprehensive, research-based core text presents kinesiology as it relates to physical rehabilitation in a clinicallyrelevant and accessible manner. It provides students and clinicians with the language of human movement — and acts as a bridge between basic science and clinical management. Full-color anatomic and kinesiologic illustrations clearly demonstrate the anatomy, functional movement, and biomechanical principles underlying movement; and dynamic new video clips help youinterpret new concepts with visual demonstration.

Key Features

• More than 900 high-quality illustrationsprovide you with the visual accompaniments you need to comprehend the material.
• Clinical Connectionsboxes at the end of each chapter in Sections II through IV highlight or expand upon a particular clinical concept associated with the kinesiology covered in the chapter.
• Special Focusboxes interspersed throughout the text provide numerous clinical examples that demonstrate why kinesiologic information is needed.
• Critical thinking questionschallenge you to review or reinforce the main concepts contained within each chapter.
• Evidence-based approachemphasizes the importance of research in physical therapy decision-making.
• Evolve site for studentscomes with video clips, answers to study questions, and references linked to Medline.
• Evolve site for instructorsincludes an image collection from the text, teaching tips, and lab activities.
