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

In Memoriam
Lynn S. Lippert (1942-2021)
Thirty years and six editions ago, our friend, author, clinician, educator, and fierce advocate for breast cancer research wrote the first book ever published specifically for Physical Therapist Assistants, Clinical Kinesiology and Anatomy, for F.A. Davis. After such achievement, Lynn retired from authorship and passed away before the publication of the 7th Edition. Generations of rehabilitation practitioners and educators carry on her legacy through their dedication to education, the advancement of their field, and new editions of her groundbreaking work.
