Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Rehabilitation

The book I received was in perfect condition. I was a bit skeptically because of the other reviews, but this book looks brand new!! I will be shopping through them again.

As a physician in practice for over 40 years, this comprehensive textbook of the human musculoskeletal system assisted my understanding and appreciation of muscles and their actions and uses in both health and disease. It is very well written and very well illustrated.

Superb textbook, not only with respect to the depth and clarity of the writing, but also with regards to the amazing illustrations. For anyone passionate about detailed musculoskeletal anatomy and mechanics, coupled with physical therapy and other clinical applications, this is an essential textbook for your library. I have been teaching musculoskeltal anatomy and biomechanics for the last 31 years, and this is the finest book on this specific subject I have seen.

I bought this book used because I needed it in time for physical therapy school. My expectations were more than met! The book is is great shape, literally looks and feels brand new.

nice, thanks

This book is a very technical book for the true learner. It really helps me understand the connection of the body from the cellular level all the way through the various body parts. I highly recommend it for the anatomy geek or those wanting to pursue PT

The online resources included in this book help you understand the course material much better than a textbook alone. Very excited to have this resource in my home library!

Absolutely excellent book, goes into great detail describing biomechanics and has clinical correlations for nearly everything. Also with really good online resources including 3D models, force vectors, cadaveric anatomy, and clinical videos.

Excellent book

Great book but missing access code so do not have access to online resources which is very frustrating.

Questo è IL libro di biomeccanica, altroché il kapandji. Il fatto che sia uscito in italiano solo quest'anno la dice lunga su quanto siamo indietro in Italia (dove si studia la cinesiologia ancora sul Kapandji!!). Ho deciso di acquistarlo e studiarlo in autonomia nonostante abbia già dato l'esame (per il quale ci hanno ovviamente consigliato il Kapandji), perché non mi sentivo abbastanza preparata per poter affrontare la professione di fisioterapista, la preparazione accademica lascia ahimé troppe lacune. Finalmente ho capito la biomeccanica, il testo è molto chiaro (riporta tanti esempi di casi clinici utili per il ragionamento), è completo ed esaustivo, secondo me tutti gli studenti dovrebbero studiare la biomeccanica su questo libro. Io l'ho acquistato originale perché la traduzione in italiano dicono sia fatta male, e comunque si capisce benissimo essendo un inglese scientifico. Le figure sono molto dettagliate e chiare e fanno impallidire il kapandji. I video sulle applicazioni cliniche disponibili tramite codice QR alla fine di ogni capitolo sono una vera chicca. L'unico difetto è che è abbastanza ingombrante e pesante da portare in giro, comunque lo consiglio a tutti gli studenti di fisioterapia. Col senno di poi comprerei solo questo e non il Kapandji.

excellent hardcover book excellent information if you need that type of stuff for rehabilitation highly recommended if you have an interest

Will help in clinical practice for fresh specialists. Used to gather more insight with individual patient.
