TextFocuses on normal structure and functionrather than specific patient problems to show how deviations from normal may create or underlie dysfunction. Prepares students to evaluate and treat human movement disorders with lucid discussions of biomechanics, joint structure, connective tissue behavior, and muscle physiology. Features an evidence-based approach that applies current research to the challenges of daily practice. Clarifies key information with more than 800 photographs, radiographs, scans, and illustrations. Emphasizes the practical application of kinesiologic principles-and the close link between normal and disordered musculoskeletal function-with patient case studies at the beginning each chapter and case applications throughout the text. Highlights key points with "Concept Cornerstone" boxes and periodic summaries. Promotes critical thinking on controversial topics through "Continuing Exploration" boxes. Offers ‘Study Questions& at the end of each chapter.
