Kinesiology for Occupational Therapy by Melinda Rybski
Melinda Rybski presents 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.
“It incorporates many important concepts and pushes the reader to understand information that is not typically addressed in occupational therapy textsThe author is to be commended.”
