The Text

The 7th Edition of this classic kinesiology text presents a very complicated topic in a clear, simple, and easy-to-understand manner. Bite-size sections and over 550 full color illustrations show how various anatomical systems are structured to help you identify and see the connections between them and how they work together to provide function.

Expanded! Emphasis on the biomechanical and kinesiological principles
Revised! Reorganization of content to make foundational information easier to understand and apply
New! Three types of tables in each extremity joint chapter, "Range of Motion for Osteokinematic Movements," "Osteokinematic and Arthrokinematic Motions" and "Classification of Articular System and Arthrokinematic Characteristics"
Introductory chapters that present an essential foundation in body systems, terminology, and biomechanical principles
Well-designed charts that summarize companion movements and prime movers
Use of analogies to make concepts comprehensible and memorable
"Points to Remember," "Summary of Muscles," "Summary of Muscle Innervation," and "Summary of Muscle Action" tables.
End-of-chapter review questions
