Focuses on Kinesiology, and presents solutions to biomechanical problems with a shift in emphasis away from mathematics and trigonometry and towards logic based on kinesiologic and biomechanical principles. This book links kinesiology to real human experience through the use of a cast of characters who appear in the many ongoing vignettes.
Kinesiology is a required subject for every occupational therapy curriculum, yet there are no comprehensive, entry-level textbooks written for occupational therapy available on this subject. The kinesiology books available do not address the functional activities of daily living, and most are written from an exercise physiology, physical therapy or ergonomics perspective. "Kinesiology" is the first comprehensive textbook on the subject written by occupational therapists specifically for the OT market. It is the only kinesiology text that presents solutions to biomechanical problems with a shift in emphasis away from mathematics and trigonometry and towards sound logic based on kinesiologic and biomechanical principles. Its depth of coverage of wrist and hand pathokinesiology, as well as normal kinesiologic function of the wrist and fingers is unique. This text links kinesiology to real human experience through the use of a cast of characters who appear in the many ongoing vignettes.
