Description
With clear, concise explanations and detailed illustrations, ESSENTIALS OF KINESIOLOGY FOR THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT is designed
specifically for fast-paced PTA programs. This book makes even the most complex and daunting content logical and easy to understand by
starting with the basic principles of kinesiology and building up to the applied presentation of upper- and lower-extremity areas of
the body. A unique atlas-style layout used in body-region chapters pairs an illustration of an individual with a listing of that muscle's
attachments, innervations, and actions, providing you with valuable information in an excellent visual reference. This student-friendly
book also features chapter outlines, key terms, learning objectives, clinical feature boxes, and much more to make learning easy.
