With a focus on the normal and abnormal mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body, Neumann’s Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System, 4th Edition provides
a foundation for the practice of physical rehabilitation. This
comprehensive, research-based core text explores kinesiology as it
relates to physical rehabilitation in a clinically relevant and
accessible manner. It presents the language of human movement ― and acts
as a bridge between basic science and clinical management. It helps
clinicians effectively address the mechanical-based changes in movement
across a person’s lifespan, whether in the context of rehabilitation,
recreation, or promotion of health and wellness. Full-color anatomic and
kinesiologic illustrations clearly demonstrate the anatomy, functional
movement, and biomechanical principles underlying movement and posture.
- Evidence-based approach emphasizes the importance of research in PT decision-making.
- More than 900 high-quality illustrations provide visual accompaniments to clarify the material.
- Clinical Connections boxes
at the end of each chapter highlight or expand upon a particular
clinical concept associated with the kinesiology covered in the chapter.
- Special Focus boxes throughout the text provide numerous clinical examples to demonstrate why kinesiologic information is needed.
- Critical thinking questions for selected chapters reinforce the main concepts.
- UPDATED! Current, evidence-based content closes the gap in kinesiology and anatomy science with clinical practice.
- NEW! Additional Special Focus boxes and Clinical Connections boxes present kinesiology in a clinical context.
- UPDATED! Modified artwork and new figures visually reinforce key concepts.
