DESCRIPTION
This exciting new first edition is a contemporary, up-to, date and evidence-
based approach to the study of lifespan motor development. This book is
designed specifically for physical therapy students and clinicians. The text
is written from a system-based approach (neuromuscular, musculoskeletal,
cardiopulmonary, integumentary, psychosocial, body composition) with a focus
on function and clinical application (gait and mobility, activities of daily living,
fine motor/manipulative skills, ball skills). Each topic is discussed on light of the key age groups (infancy, early
and middle childhood, adolescence and teens, young adults and middle and older adults). The book will apply
the material being used through lab activities and “Physical Therapy Clinical Relevance” boxes. Additionally,
the book will contain videos that show people throughout the various stages of life and their motor control
and learning.
• Free resources for Instructors and students include the fully searchable text online for on-the-go access.
