Approaching the subject of kinesiology from the perspective of
occupational therapy, this unique text written by occupational
therapists examines the everyday activities of people using the
principles of biomechanics to adapt to changes in their functional
abilities. This new edition stresses applicability to clinical
practice with the inclusion of case examples.
