Description
The text covers biomechanical and motor control principles and provides examples in the occupational therapy realm of practice that address combining the principles of kinesiology with clinical practice. The text also has case studies and laboratory exercises specifically designed for occupational therapy students. The focus is on the concepts of kinesiology and excludes some of the mathematics that is used by biomechanists. The purpose of strengthening the understanding of the principles and reducing the emphasis on mathematics is that therapists can easily apply the principles to practice, but usually lack the equipment, expertise and time required to do extensive movement analyses
