Approaching the subject of kinesiology from the perspective of occupational therapy, this unique text, written by occupational therapists for occupational therapists, examines the everyday activities of people using the principles of biomechanics to adapt to changes in their functional abilities.
This edition stresses applicability to clinical practice with the inclusion of case studies throughout the text, making it easier for you to grasp concepts. An interactive CD-ROM containing a Lab Manual and Lab Key, as well as comprehensive multimedia components, including over 20 animations and video clips that bring biomechanics to life, make this text not only comprehensive but also completely state-of-the-art.
