| Summary |
"Approaching the subject of kinesiology from the perspective of occupational therapy, this text examines the everyday activities of people using the principles of biomechanics to adapt to changes in their functional abilities. This edition stresses applicability to clinical practice with the inclusion of case studies throughout the text, making it easier to grasp concepts."--BOOK JACKET |
