Description

Striking an optimum user-friendly balance between basic and more advanced content, "Joint Structure and Function" is the ideal text for an "Introduction to Kinesiology" course. It is targeted primarily for physical therapy students (but also can be used by occupational therapy and athletic training students) who are preparing for entry-level practice involved in the assessment of and intervention in human musculoskeletal function and dysfunction. Well-referenced, up-to-date research and the liberal use of figures, examples, and tables make this book the most educationally comprehendible text on the market.
