The Second Edition of this comprehensive textbook relates the most current understanding of anatomy and mechanics with clinical practice concerns in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and exercise science. Featuring seven biomechanics chapters, straightforward writing, and over 900 beautiful illustrations, the text provides detailed coverage of the structure, function, and kinesiology of each body region.
Clinical Relevance boxes present real-life case studies relating biomechanical principles to patient care. Muscle Attachment boxes provide easily accessed anatomical information and tips on muscle palpation. Examining the Forces boxes highlight the advanced mathematical concepts used to determine forces on joint structure.
An accompanying DVD containing about 150 videos provides dynamic clinical demonstrations, principle illustrations, and lab activities.
