Description
Meaningful Motion covers biomechanical and motor control principles and provides examples that address combining the principles of kinesiology
with clinical occupational therapy practice. The text also has case studies and laboratory exercises specifically designed for occupational
therapy students. The focus is on the concepts of kinesiology and excludes some of the mathematics that is used by biomechanists.
Audience
Undergraduate occupational therapy students.
