"Widely used and referenced, David Winter's Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement is a classic examination of techniques used to measure and analyze all body movements as mechanical systems, including such everyday movements as walking. It fills the gap in the human m…
For each joint, the book presents pertinent functional anatomy, kinesiology, and clinical information; describes the kinematic MRI protocol and technique; explains the normal kinematics; and provides a thorough presentation of the pathokniematics. Multiple case examples illustra…
Kinematic MRI refers to imaging a joint through a range of motion to examine the interactions between the soft tissue and osseous anatomy that comprise the joint. Kinematic MRI techniques were developed because various pathologic conditions are dependent on the specific position…
Brunnstrom's clinical kinesiology
by Houglum, Peggy A., Bertoti, Dolores, Brunnstrom, Signe
Now celebrating its 50 years in print, this text has held onto the foundation of its great success, while also being re-invented for todays audience. The focus of this text remains the practical instruction of functional anatomy in order to quickly, and convincingly, guide reade…
Brunnstrom's clinical kinesiology
by Houglum, Peggy A., Bertoti, Dolores, Brunnstrom, Signe
"This text continues the Brunnstrom approach to kinesiology, dempahsizing unncessary computation and focusing on clinical application. It links theoretical concepts to their practical applications with Practice Points boxes ; Examines the properties of bone, cartilage, ligaments…
"Explaining the process of human movement, Manual of Structural Kinesiology gives a straightforward view of human anatomy and its relation to movement. The manual clearly identifies specific muscles and muscle groups and describes exercises for strengthening and developing those…
Now in its fourth edition 'Tyldesley and Grieve's Muscles, Nerves and Movement' has established itself as the leading textbook for the study of movement by occupational therapists. The book provides students with a sound understanding of the way in which bones, joints, muscles a…
Vision and motor control
by Proteau, Luc, Elliott, Digby
fromAdvances in psychology (Amsterdam, Pays-Bas)
Since the classic studies of Woodworth (1899), the role of vision in the control of movement has been an important research topic in experimental psychology. While many early studies were concerned with the relative importance of vision and kinesthesis and/or the time it takes t…
