FEATURES Motor Control is the only text to bridge the gap between current motor control research and its applications to clinical practice. The text prepares therapists to examine and treat patients with problems related to balance, mobility, and upper extremity function, based on the best available evidence supporting clinical practice. This edition provides the latest research findings and their clinical applications in postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function. Drawings, charts, tables, and photographs are also included to clarify postural control and functional mobility, and laboratory activities and case studies are provided to reinforce key concepts. f f NEW! New case studies have been added; these case studies correspond to videos of patients on the back-of- book DVD to enhance the clinical coverage. Icons next to these case studies refer readers to the videos. f f NEW! Additional lab activities related to the videos have been added. f f Latest research findings and their clinical applications in postural control, mobility, and upper extremity function provide the most up-to-date information on new advances in the field. f f Learning objectives and answer keys included in each chapter enhance learning. f f Assessment and treatments are classified into impairment levels, strategy levels, and functional levels for easy reference. The authors have also added information on assessment and treatment related to improving participation, which is the new ICF language. f f Drawings, charts, tables, and photographs help students visualize and better understand postural control and functional mobility. f f Laboratory activities and case studies reinforce and apply key concepts to patients with different diagnoses.

DESCRIPTION

FEATURES The Second Edition of Kinesiology: The Mechanics and Pathomechanics of Human Movement relates the most current understanding of anatomy and mechanics with clinical practice concerns. Featuring seven chapters devoted to biomechanics, straightforward writing, and over 900 beautiful illustrations, the text provides detailed coverage of the structure, function and kinesiology of each body region. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the quality of movement and overall human health. f f 150 videos demonstrating techniques and key concept f f Full text Online allowing reader to search and read the book online. f f Examining the Forces boxes cover mathematical analysis used to determine forces on joint structure, and can be skipped in courses that do not cover this high level information. f f Clinical Relevance Boxes that reinforce the relationship of biomechanical principles to patient care through real- life case studies. f f Evidence-based presentations of each chapter guarantee that the most current literature and essential classic studies are the basis for your course f f Muscle Attachment Boxes that complement the text and demonstrate clinical relevance to sharpen clinical practice skills. f f Appropriate illustrations and summary boxes are effective in clarifying specific points.
