Description
"Kinesiology" is a comprehensive textbook on kinesiology, or the study of movement. Chapters are organized by body region, and each includes a review of functional anatomy and biomechanics, with application and discussion of locomotion and pathokinesiology. This book is designed for physical therapy, occupational therapy, exercise physiology, and any other area that studies kinesiology. Now every copy of Carol A. Oatis' "Kinesiology: The Mechanics and Pathomechanics of Human Movement" is packaged with a new three-dimensional anatomy CD-ROM from Primal Pictures. There are free online instructor and student resources on the book's companion Website.
