Learn how to apply kinesiology concepts and treat dysfunction with
Muscolino's Kinesiology: The Skeletal System and Muscle Function,
3rd Edition! With more than 1,200 full-color illustrations, this
highly visual text offers a vividly illustrated look at the
skeletal system and how muscles function as movers, antagonists,
and stabilizers in the body. Part One covers the fundamentals of
structure and motion, including essential terminology that is used
in kinesiology. Part Two covers the skeletal system including the
makeup of skeletal and fascial tissues. Part Three contains a
detailed study of the joints of the body. And lastly, Part Four
examines how muscles function. This new edition also boasts an
all-new chapter on biomechanics, more than 100 online video clips,
and an interactive muscle program. If you want a thorough
understanding of muscle function and how to apply that knowledge on
the job, then there's no better guide than Muscolino! Coverage of
strengthening exercises and stretching emphasizes the purposes and
benefits of stretching and how to perform various stretching
techniques. The most up-to-date information on posture and the gait
cycle features high-quality art. Comprehensive chapter on muscle
action and attachments includes illustrations of all of the muscles
of the human body organized by function. Clinical applications
throughout the book are directly related to kinesiology concepts
and challenge you to apply what you've learned to clinical
practice. Complete atlas of bones, bony landmarks, and joints
includes more than 100 full-color photographs of every bone in the
human body, giving you comprehensive coverage of bones not found in
other kinesiology books. Clear, simple explanations of kinesiology
concepts cover muscle contraction(s), coordination of muscles with
movement, core stabilization, posture, exercise, reflexes, and how
the nervous system controls and directs the muscular system.
Approximately 1,200 four-color illustrations help you visualize
important concepts. A wide variety of user resources include a
comprehensive glossary of terms from the book, radiographs, answers
to the review questions at the end of each chapter in the book, an
interactive muscle program, and videos featuring joint actions and
palpation techniques. NEW! A new chapter on biomechanics helps you
understand how the body moves under normal circumstances and what
may impair its movement in pathology. NEW! Improved illustrations
in The Skeletal Muscles of the Human Body offer a vivid muscle
atlas within the text. NEW! Expanded resources on Evolve companion
site include a new collection of video clips and an interactive
muscle program which help you identify the necessary skills for
professional success.
