Kinesiology for Occupational Therapy
Melinda F. Rybski
Abstract
Designed for any course that describes and explains movement, this text provides an in-depth explanation of normal movement, measurement of movement, and theory-based intervention strategies for remediation of adaptation to limitations in occupational performance. The book features: occupational therapy theory and explainations of intervention principles and goals; multiple illustrations and examples to help understand basic physics, biomechanics and kinesiology concepts; charts that clarify movements in the human body to help students use correct terminology; and clear images and descriptions of skeletal landmarks to help link anatomy to living people.
