Kinesiology: Movement in the Context of Activity,3/e


Enhance your OT ss with the only book to focus on activity demands of occupation and the biomechanics of sensory
organs! Greene and Roberts’ Kinesiology: Movement in the Context of Activity, 3rd Edition uses a comprehensive, client-
centered approach to occupational therapy, including sensory-motor performance ss and socio-cultural contexts related
to solving a clinical problem. It covers kinesiologic and biomechanical principles, and shows techniques for producing
positive outcomes when clients face challenging activity demands in all areas of occupation. Written by OTs for OTs,
this reference helps you learn how to treat clinical diagnoses as personal experiences encountered in real-life
situations.

Client-focused approach presents information in the same order an OT practitioner would follow to solve a clinical
problem, emphasizing kinesiologic and biomechanical principles rather than mathematics and trigonometry.
Nearly 300 detailed, colorful illustrations make it easier to understand how human movement relates to occupational
performance.
Coverage of the entire body shows how biomechanical principles apply to activity demands on the head and trunk, as well
as to the upper and lower extremities.
Case studies present real-life client situations, allowing you to apply concepts and solve problems.
Critical thinking questions, physical activities, and interactive rcises stress clear, conceptual thinking and an
understanding of real client situations.
Lab Manual for Kinesiology: Movement in the Context of Activity at the back of the book offers hands-on activities
including movement of the human musculoskeletal tem, wheelchair stability and transfers, sensory receptors, movements
of the upper extremities, and positioning of the hip, knee, and ankle.
Closer Look boxes examine key topics that are complicated or need further explanation, and add information relevant to
practice.
NEW! Utilizing the Sensory Environment: Integrating Physics into Sensory Interventions chapterexplores how the forces
used in the application of hands, tools, or equipment activate the sensory receptor cells, leading to more reliable
assessments and outcomes.
