Kinesiology is the study of the mechanics of bodily motion, especially muscle movements and their relationship to our body systems. This diagnostic method measures muscle response to specific stimulation in order to pinpoint the underlying causes of health problems. Applied Kinesiology demonstrates how this technique can be of practical use for everyone.

Emphasizes basic kinesiology knowledge, describing the essentials of joint movement and muscle action. Discusses each major muscle in terms of location, attachment, function, and innervation. Includes review questions and many detailed b&w illustrations. This third edition adds five new chapters on basic biomechanics, the temperomandibular joint, the pelvic girdle, normal posture, and arthrokinematics. Material on the muscular system is expanded to include an explanation of open and closed kinetic chain principles.

Kinematic MRI refers to imaging a joint through a range of motion to examine the interactions between the soft tissue and osseous anatomy that comprise the joint. Kinematic MRI techniques were developed because various pathologic conditions are dependent on the specific position of the joint or in response to loading or stress. Importantly, static-

The Second Edition of Kinesiology: The Mechanics and Pathomechanics of Human Movement relates the most current understanding of anatomy and mechanics with clinical practice concerns. Featuring seven chapters devoted to biomechanics, straightforward writing, and over 900 beautiful illustrations, the text provides you with detailed coverage of the structure, function, and kinesiology of each body region. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the quality of movement and overall human health. Special features include: New DVD containing about 150 videos provides dynamic examples of clinical demonstrations, principle illustrations, and lab activities. This powerful resource explores patient function, dysfunction, and injury for greater comprehension. Clinical Relevance Boxes reinforce the relationship of biomechanical principles to patient care through real-life case studies. Muscle Attachment Boxes provide easily accessed anatomical information and tips on muscle palpation Examining the Forces Boxes highlight the advanced mathematical concepts used to determine forces on joint structure. Evidence-based presentations deliver the most current literature and essential classic studies for your understanding of musculoskeletal structure and function. Whether you are a student or practitioner in the field of physical therapy, occupational therapy, or exercise science, this comprehensive book serves as an excellent resource for best practice techniques.
