An accessible guide to anatomical structures and the tools used for dissection Learning and naming the many parts and systems of the human body can be a daunting task for medical and physical therapy students preparing for careers in various scientific and medical professions. With a combination of informative text and clear images, Photographic Dissector for Physical Therapy Students provides an unparalleled examination of anatomical structures and the tools used for dissection. Using visible external landmarks, students will learn how to locate internal structures and develop a better understanding of anatomy. The book offers thorough coverage of the types of tools for dissecting along with detailed photographic instructions for every step of dissection. Each tool is clearly defined with its purpose.

Karen Clippinger's first edition of Dance Anatomy and Kinesiology was hailed as the definitive text on the topic. This new edition builds on that success by retaining its scientific perspective while making the material more accessible to students and teachers.

Anatomy and Physiology 2e is developed to meet the scope and sequence for a two-semester human anatomy and physiology course for life science and allied health majors. The book is organized by body systems. The revision focuses on inclusive and equitable instruction and includes new student support. Illustrations have been extensively revised to be clearer and more inclusive. The web-based version of Anatomy and Physiology 2e also features links to surgical videos, histology, and interactive diagrams.

From the founder of Polestar Pilates, Principles of Movement is a practical resource guide on movement science for movement practitioners, therapists, and anyone looking for a practical and easy approach to assess, facilitate, and enhance movement. With applications in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, kinesiology, physical education, Pilates training, yoga training, dance education, and more, Principles of Movement is designed to help the movement practitioner improve the quality of their practice by better understanding the integrated model of movement assessment and movement facilitation. The text focuses on how to facilitate the quality of movement-not just the quantity.

With 1050+ practice case-based questions, this self-testing guide covers all the core concepts needed to study for the ABPMR exam Ideal for both systematic and quick, last-minute studying, Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine: Case-Based Board Review distills the essential knowledge required to adequately prepare for the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation board exam (ABPMR). The book compliments Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine, giving you access to a comprehensive review when needed. Each chapter includes specific references to the larger, primary text. Complete with board-style questions, expansive answers, rationales (for both correct and incorrect answers), tables and figures, this study aid brings you up to speed on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and rehabilitative management options tested on the exam. Principles of Rehabilitation Medicine: Case-Based Board Review features: More than 1050 board-style practice questions/answers 122 chapter topics mirroring the ABPMR content Clinical pearls that highlight key takeaways Sections on: o Neurologic Disorders o Musculoskeletal Medicine o Medical Rehabilitation o Patient Management o Equipment & Assistive Technology o Basic Sciences

The study of the working of a healthy human body during exercise is known as sports and exercise science. It also studies the impact of sport and physical activity on improving health, and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives. This field draws from several other disciplines such as anatomy, exercise physiology, sport psychology, biochemistry, biomechanics and biokinetics. A major application of sport and exercise science is designing, monitoring and evaluating training programs for athletes and coaches to enable them to reach their maximum potential. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of sport and exercise science and how such concepts have practical applications. The topics included in this book on sports and exercise science, are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Sport aesthetics is an important but often marginalized field in the philosophy of sport. Kinetic Beauty offers a comprehensive, principled, pluralist introduction to the philosophical aesthetics of sport. The book tackles a wide variety of issues in the philosophical aesthetics of sport, proposing a five-level analysis that coordinates extant scholarship on the same conceptual map, reveals gaps in the literature, and motivates a fresh perspective on stubborn debates and novel topics in the field (for example, the aesthetic experience of athletes, aesthetic biases in sport, the paradox of sport fiction, and whether dance can be sport). This is an excellent resource for professors and students in the philosophy of sport, sport aesthetics, general aesthetics, and the philosophy of art. It is also a fascinating read for those working in kinesiology, sport studies, philosophy, art, and aesthetics.

The 19th-century pioneers of motor physiology -- Helmholtz, Hering, Fick and others -- used the mathematics of motion, known as kinematics, to describe the laws of human movement and to deduce the neural control principles underlying these laws. After long neglect -- partly due to limitations in stimulation and recording techniques -- the kinematic approach is now resurging, fortified with modern computers and electrophysiology. New developments in recording techniques, as well as an improved understanding of the complex control properties of three-dimensional movements, have led to a flood of new research in this area. The classical laws of Donders and Listing have been confirmed and generalized, and computer simulations of the neural control of three-dimensional movement have been developed and tested. In this book, some of the world's leading scientists of motor control discuss how the brain represents and transforms the kinematic variables of movement. Background chapters explain the basic concepts -- non-commutativity, redundancy and the classical laws -- and their application to normal function and motor disorders, and shorter articles describe current research. The contributions are based on presentations at a symposium held in Tubingen in August 1995. The wide scope of the book should enable researchers to gain an overview of current research, but should also help newcomers to the field to get a good understanding of the questions and problems involved in three-dimensional movement control.

The fifth edition of Introduction to Exercise Science introduces students to every core area of study in the discipline. It comprises concise chapters which introduce the history, key lines of inquiry relating to both health and performance, technology, certifications, professional associations, and career opportunities associated with each area. No other book offers such a wide-ranging, evidence-based introduction to exercise science. Written by leading and experienced experts, chapters include: reading and interpreting literature measurement in exercise science anatomy in exercise science exercise physiology exercise epidemiology athletic training exercise and sport nutrition biomechanics motor control exercise and sport psychology Packed with pedagogical features--from journal abstract examples to study questions and further reading suggestions--and accompanied by a website including practical lab exercises, Introduction to Exercise Science is a complete resource for a hands-on introduction to the core tenets of exercise science. It is an engaging and invaluable textbook for students beginning undergraduate degrees in Kinesiology, Sport & Exercise Science, Sports Coaching, Strength & Conditioning, Athletic Training, Sports Therapy, Sports Medicine, and Health & Fitness.
