SummaryTable of Contents
In this book, the emphasis is on basic kinesiology. In describing joint motion and muscle action, the author focuses on describing the commonly agreed-on prime movers, using the terminology most widely accepted within the discipline of physical therapy. Many textbooks exist that describe in greater detail various motions and muscles, in both normal and pathological conditions. For more in-depth analysis, the student should consult these books.
