{"product_id":"clinical-mechanics-and-kinesiology-1","title":"Clinical Mechanics and Kinesiology","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClinical Mechanics and Kinesiology With Web Resource\u003c\/i\u003e provides a        solid foundation so that students of physical therapy, occupational        therapy, and athletic training can understand biomechanics and        functional anatomy as they relate to both normal and abnormal movement.        Written by active clinicians with more than 40 combined years of        clinical and teaching experience, this text is also a practical        reference for rehabilitation professionals working with a range of        populations and pathologies.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Taking a clinical approach not found in other texts, \u003ci\u003eClinical        Mechanics and Kinesiology\u003c\/i\u003e follows a logical progression that        maximizes learning. It first presents biomechanical principles that        students must understand in order to examine and treat clients and        patients undergoing rehabilitation. Next, it explores muscle and nerve        physiology and function of the muscle and joint systems. Then the focus        shifts to applying those concepts to specific joints. Divided into 10        regions, each joint is evaluated by the bones that make up the joints;        the joint articulation, anatomy, and function; and the muscles that act        on the joints. In the final section of the text, students gain insight        into full-body movement patterns of particular concern to rehabilitation        specialists. They will examine not only the usual topics of posture and        walking gait but also running gait and the mechanics of jumping and        cutting—some of the most common sources of injury.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClinical Mechanics and Kinesiology\u003c\/i\u003e is enhanced with over 360        pieces of full-color art. Unique combination figures integrate detailed        bone illustrations and photos. Medical art displays locations of bones,        muscles, and ligaments. Arthrokinematic motions are clearly shown with        the appropriate skeletal locations, making it easy for students to see        how a particular motion relates to the rest of the body. Several other        features also aid in students’ learning and retention:     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • A one-year subscription to Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review, an online        anatomy program, provides an interactive forum for reviewing regional        structural anatomy.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Clinical Correlations included in each chapter help students increase        their understanding of biomechanics and kinesiology and apply the        theoretical content to clinical practice.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Problem Sets and Practice It sidebars with activities in chapters 1        and 2 assist students in applying and mastering biomechanical concepts.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Pedagogical aids such as chapter objectives and conclusions, key        points, glossary terms, and review questions highlight important        information so students can quickly grasp and review the main points.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Included with each new text is a key code allowing students one-year        access to the online anatomy program \u003ci\u003eMusculoskeletal Anatomy Review\u003c\/i\u003e.        This engaging supplement offers a regional review of structural anatomy        with exceptionally detailed, high-quality graphic images—the majority        provided by Primal Pictures. Students can mouse over muscles and click        for muscle identification. Each chapter features a pretest and posttest        evaluation to help students pinpoint knowledge gaps and test their        retention. Students may take the pretest multiple times (it is generated        randomly so it will never be the same), but students may take the        posttest only once. Test results can be printed and turned in, giving        instructors the option to use the tests as a grading tool.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       In addition, instructors will have online access to an instructor guide,        image bank, and test package. The instructor guide further encourages        students’ learning by offering class assignments and lab activities not        featured in the book. The class assignments, at least three per chapter,        are quick activities that can be completed in class. The lab activities        are longer assignments intended to be completed outside the classroom by        pairs of students. Each lab contains an overview, a statement of        purpose, a list of equipment needed, and instruction on data collection        and analysis.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Written for students and practitioners of rehabilitation programs, \u003ci\u003eClinical        Mechanics and Kinesiology\u003c\/i\u003e provides a foundation in kinesiology        reinforced by numerous clinically applicable examples. Students will        gain a strong understanding of mechanical principles governing human        motion, with particular knowledge of both normal and abnormal functional        motions, and be able to apply their knowledge directly to rehabilitation        protocols.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Janice K.
