Foundation in Kinesiology & Biomechanics, 2/e

Here’s the must-have knowledge of basic joint structure and muscle action and their normal and pathologic functions. You will focus on the science behind muscle function and movement and how groups of muscle together can contribute to function or dysfunction. This evidence-based approach prepares you to explore the principles of rehabilitation that facilitate movement, strength, and mobility. ★ A chapter organization that first focuses on typical or “normal” and then introduce the atypical or abnormal, building the knowledge base necessary to provide effective interventions ★ Discussions of the concept of malalignment (postural deviations) ★ Coverage of the anatomy of the musculoskeletal and neurological systems. ★ Tables at the end of each chapter that describe the muscles surrounding the joint and their origins, insertions, and innervations ★ “Clinical Connections” boxes describing a variety of injuries or conditions that can influence expected joint movement ★ Case Study at the end of each chapter describing a person who has experienced injury to the body segment studied ★ Discussion Questions. ★ Appendices that detail the muscles surrounding the joint and their attachments and innervations as well as a dermatome diagram of the specific area
