Summary Table of Contents

In Kinesiology for Occupational Therapy, Second Edition, Dr. Melinda Rybski presents the theoretical background for understanding the kinematics and kinetics of normal human physiological movement. Each specific joint is assessed in terms of musculoskeletal function, movements possible, and an overview of pathology that may develop. Following these discussions, Kinesiology for Occupational Therapy, Second Editionaddresses recognition of normal movement, as well as interventions or adaptations for those with movement impairment through theoretic... MORE principles associated with biomechanical and rehabilitation frames of reference. Features: � Hands-on activities to relate and apply conceptual information to actual case studies � Goal statements and theoretic principles for the frames of reference in discussion � Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, 2Eterminology and evidence-based literature supporting the assessments and interventions covered Techniques of measuring musculoskeletal function include manual muscle testing, range of motion assessments, and assessment of coordination and hand function. New to the Second Edition: � More evidence to support treatment options � More on assessment of individual joints � Access to online tutorials for goniometry and manual muscle testing, with new text purchase � Includes over 300 tables and images throughout � Practical application of surface anatomy to identify skeletal landmarks and muscles � Chapters updated to address intervention frames of reference used in OT Instructors in educational settings can visit www.efacultylounge.com for additional material to be used for teaching in the classroom.

"This book is written for occupational therapists and occupational therapy students. The purpose of this book is to explore and explain how movement occurs from a musculoskeletal orientation. This text does not discuss the influence and contribution of the sensory system, nervous systems, volition, or cognition on the production of movement, although these are clearly vital parts of movement. This text includes descriptions of how joints, muscles, and bones all interact to produce movement. General information about muscles and assessment of strength, as well as joints and assessment of joint motion, are contained in two chapters that will elucidate this idea of movement. There are six chapters devoted to how movement is produced at each joint (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, lower extremity, and posture). Being able to visualize the internal mechanisms of joint movement and to accurately assess observable joint characteristics is an important part of understanding movement. In order to understand how movement is produced, kinesiology concepts are explained with regard to forces acting on the body and how these forces influence not only movement but ultimately our intervention with clients. Because this book is written for occupational therapists, the first chapter briefly explains concepts particularly related to the profession of occupational therapy. Terminology is defined according to Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process as well as International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) terminology"--Provided by publisher.
