Here’s the must-have
knowledge of basic joint structure and muscle action and their normal and pathologic
functions. You will focus on the science behind muscle function and movement
and how groups of muscle together can contribute to function or dysfunction.
This evidence-based approach prepares you to explore the principles of rehabilitation
that facilitate movement, strength, and mobility.
• A chapter organization that first
focuses on typical or “normal” and then introduce the atypical or abnormal,
building the knowledge base necessary to provide effective interventions
• Discussions of the concept of
malalignment (postural deviations)
• Coverage of the anatomy of the
musculoskeletal and neurological systems.
• Tables at the end of each chapter
that describe the muscles surrounding the joint and their origins, insertions,
and innervations
• “Clinical Connections” boxes
describing a variety of injuries or conditions that can influence expected
joint movement
• Case Study at the end of each
chapter describing a person who has experienced injury to the body segment
studied
• Discussion Questions
• Appendices that detail the
muscles surrounding the joint and their attachments and innervations as well as
a dermatome diagram of the specific area
