Gain the knowledge and skills you need to provide soft-tissue
therapy! Kinesiology: The Skeletal System and Muscle Function, 4th
Edition provides a complete guide to the art and science of
musculoskeletal anatomy, movement, and dysfunction treatment. With
more than 1,200 full-color illustrations, the book shows the body's
bones and joints, and how muscles function as movers, antagonists,
and stabilizers. Part I covers the fundamentals of structure and
motion. Part II covers the skeletal system, including skeletal and
fascial tissues. Part III contains a detailed study of the joints
of the body. And finally, Part IV examines how muscles function.
Written by noted lecturer and educator Joseph Muscolino, this text
includes access to an Evolve website with 150 video clips
demonstrating major joint actions of the body as well as muscle
palpation. Complete atlas of bones, bony landmarks, and joints
includes hundreds of full-color illustrations, providing
comprehensive coverage of bones not found in other kinesiology
books. Clear, straightforward 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. Coverage
of strengthening exercises and stretching emphasizes the purposes
and benefits of stretching and how to perform various stretching
techniques. Information on posture and the gait cycle includes
illustrations of all of the muscles of the human body organized by
function. Clinical applications challenge students to apply
kinesiology concepts to clinical practice. Light-bulb and Spotlight
boxes discuss applications of the content, including pathologic
conditions and clinical scenarios. Learning objectives at the start
of each chapter include a chapter outline, overview, key terms and
pronunciations, and word origins. NEW! Expanded coverage of fascia
includes new perspectives from all-new contributors, including the
role of fascia in movement, stability, and posture.
