SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
From the cover. A classic reborn! This hallmark text celebrates 50 years in print with a Golden Anniversary edition, re-imagined to meet the needs of today's practitioners. Now with a brand-new author team, Peggy A. Houglum and Dolores B. Bertoli present kinesiology from a modern, applied perspective. Emphasis on functional anatomy: continues the authoritative Brunnstrom approach to kinesiology; de-emphasizes unnecessary computation and focuses on clinical application. Full color design: one of today's most visual kinesiology texts; hundreds of new, full-color photographs and illustrations. Packed with clinical applications and exercises: applications for sport, exercise, activities of daily living, leisure, and rehabilitation; Clinical Scenarios with solutions in each chapter; Practice Points link theoretical concepts to their practical applications. Choose the sixth edition of Brunnstrom's Clinical Kinesiology for today's most current, applied perspectives on functional movement!
