Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System - E-Book 3rd Edition, Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 526 ratings

With its focus on the normal and abnormal mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body, Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Rehabilitation, 3rd Edition provides a foundation for the practice of physical rehabilitation. This comprehensive, research-based core text presents kinesiology as it relates to physical rehabilitation in a clinically relevant and accessible manner. It provides students and clinicians with the language of human movement — and acts as a bridge between basic science and clinical management. Full-color anatomic and kinesiologic illustrations clearly demonstrate the anatomy, functional movement, and biomechanical principles underlying movement; and dynamic new video clips help you interpret new concepts with visual demonstration.

    • More than 900 high-quality illustrations provide you with the visual accompaniments you need to comprehend the material.
    • Clinical Connections boxes at the end of each chapter in Sections II through IV highlight or expand upon a particular clinical concept associated with the kinesiology covered in the chapter.
    • Special Focus boxes interspersed throughout the text provide numerous clinical examples that demonstrate why kinesiologic information is needed.
    • Critical thinking questions challenge you to review or reinforce the main concepts contained within each chapter.
    • Evidence-based approach emphasizes the importance of research in physical therapy decision-making.
    • Evolve site for students comes with video clips, answers to study questions, and references linked to Medline.
    • Evolve site for instructors includes an image collection from the text, teaching tips, and lab activities.
      • NEW! Kinesiology of Running chapter covers the biomechanics of running.
      • NEW! Video clips help you interpret new concepts with visual demonstration.
      • NEW! All-new content on the pelvic floor.
      • NEW! Thoroughly updated references emphasize the evidence-based presentation of information in the text.
      • NEW! QR codes linked to videos for easy viewing on mobile devices.

      It would definitely be a 5 star review but I opened my box and it looks like someone tried to rip the cover off or hit the edge of the book on something. The book was kind of expensive when I purchased it so it’s a little disheartening that it’s been torn up already.

        Reviewed in Italy on October 24, 2019
        Questo è IL libro di biomeccanica, altroché il kapandji. Il fatto che sia uscito in italiano solo quest'anno la dice lunga su quanto siamo indietro in Italia (dove si studia la cinesiologia ancora sul Kapandji!!). Ho deciso di acquistarlo e studiarlo in autonomia nonostante abbia già dato l'esame (per il quale ci hanno ovviamente consigliato il Kapandji), perché non mi sentivo abbastanza preparata per poter affrontare la professione di fisioterapista, la preparazione accademica lascia ahimé troppe lacune. Finalmente ho capito la biomeccanica, il testo è molto chiaro (riporta tanti esempi di casi clinici utili per il ragionamento), è completo ed esaustivo, secondo me tutti gli studenti dovrebbero studiare la biomeccanica su questo libro. Io l'ho acquistato originale perché la traduzione in italiano dicono sia fatta male, e comunque si capisce benissimo essendo un inglese scientifico. Le figure sono molto dettagliate e chiare e fanno impallidire il kapandji. I video sulle applicazioni cliniche disponibili tramite codice QR alla fine di ogni capitolo sono una vera chicca. L'unico difetto è che è abbastanza ingombrante e pesante da portare in giro, comunque lo consiglio a tutti gli studenti di fisioterapia. Col senno di poi comprerei solo questo e non il Kapandji.
