Kinesiology for Occupational Therapy, Third Edition covers 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. Dr. Melinda Rybski covers four occupational therapy theories related to functional motion that are important for occupational therapists to know. This Third Edition has been updated to reflect the current field and includes new information that has emerged in recent years.
New in the Third Edition:
Content closely follows AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Framework and Occupational Therapy Vision 2025
Updated and more extensive provision of evidence that summarizes key findings in current literature
New theories are presented in the Intervention sections
Extensive, joint specific and theory-based assessments are provided
Interventions described are occupation-based, process-based
Kinesiology concepts presented in a practical, useable way
Expanded chapters for Spine and Thorax and Hip and Pelvis.
Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom.
Kinesiology for Occupational Therapy, Third Edition clearly outlines the need for an understanding of kinesiology in occupational therapy, providing occupational therapists with the evidence necessary to support their intervention strategies.
