Kinesiology for the Health Care Professional

Kinesiology for the Health Care Professional is a detailed reference for health care providers involved in physical and occupational therapy and the exercise sciences. Practical applications and precise illustrations are effectively combined into a comprehensive study of the mechanics and anatomy of human movement. Text material progresses naturally from a general overview of kinesiology terms and subjects to identifying the structure and function of specific muscles and joints. The interactions of muscles, bones and ligaments and how these interactions translate into movement are also examined. (key words: kinesiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise, exercise sciences, anatomy)
