Striking an optimum user-friendly balance between basic and more advanced content, Joint Structure and Function is the ideal text for your program's "Introduction to Kinesiology" course. It is targeted primarily for physical therapy students (but also can be used by occupational therapy and athletic training students) who are preparing for entry-level practice involved in the assessment of and intervention in human musculoskeletal function and dysfunction. Well-referenced, up-to-date research and the liberal use of figures, examples, and tables make this the most educationally comprehendible text on the market. Bonus Inside! Kinesiology videos on DVD
