This unique        reference thoroughly explores the biomechanical characteristics of        musculoskeletal components and the response and adaptation of these        components to the physical stress imposed by everyday activities.        Following a systematic approach, \u003ci\u003eStructure and Function of the        Musculoskeletal System\u003c\/i\u003e describes     \u003c\/p\u003e     the basic composition and function of the musculoskeletal system;      mechanical concepts and principles that underlie human movement;      functional anatomy of the skeletal, connective tissue, articular, and      neuromuscular systems; mechanical characteristics of musculoskeletal      components; structural adaptation of musculoskeletal components; and the      etiology of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries.      \u003cp\u003e             \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Also available as an e-book, the second edition of \u003ci\u003eStructure and        Function of the Musculoskeletal System\u003c\/i\u003efeatures nearly 700 detailed,        full-color illustrations showing key structures and biomechanical        properties of the musculoskeletal system. Elementary biomechanical        concepts are incorporated throughout the text, offering readers a more        integrated understanding of how forces are created and relayed by the        components of the musculoskeletal system.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e             \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       The second edition of \u003ci\u003eStructure and Function of the Musculoskeletal        System\u003c\/i\u003e also includes new information on the effects of aging on        muscle function as well as a new appendix with illustrations of each        muscle group and tables detailing the origin, insertion, and action of        individual muscles. In addition, several new case studies illustrate the        response and adaptation of the musculoskeletal system to exercise at        various ages and in various situations. These case studies present        current research and how the findings can be put to practical use in        physical activity, competitive sport, rehabilitation, and activities of        daily living.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e             \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Students new to anatomy or biomechanics will benefit from the book's        reader-friendly structure featuring applied examples, summaries, review        questions, references, an extensive subject index, and a glossary that        runs parallel to the text. Learning objectives at the beginning of each        chapter identify the key topics, and interesting facts and key points        are set off within highlight boxes throughout the text. Highlighted        introductory figures assist readers in understanding content as they        refer to a sequence of subsequent figures while reading the text. Plus,        nearly all the images from the text are included in an image bank that        is free to instructors who adopt the text.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e             \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStructure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition,\u003c\/i\u003eoffers        readers a clear conception of how the components of the musculoskeletal        system coordinate to produce movement and continuously adapt their        structure to the strain of everyday physical activity as well as the        effects of aging. Illustrated with full-color detail, this unique        resource will assist both future and current professionals in the        diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders by enhancing their        understanding of the relationship between the structure and function of        the musculoskeletal system.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Watkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31972194812036,"sku":"9781492574415","price":62.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0308\/2292\/4420\/files\/9781492574415_4282d047-4d05-499d-a381-ecb5144a13e5.jpg?v=1783408318","url":"https:\/\/human-kinetics-2020.myshopify.com\/products\/structure-function-of-the-musculoskeletal-system","provider":"Human Kinetics Europe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
