About this title

Synopsis

The 2nd edition of this expert text emphasizes normal development and function, examining how function is attained and how it can be optimized across the life span. Its logical organization and presentation equips readers with the background and tools needed to understand the components of functional movement. A solid grounding in normal development, including the cellular and systems changes that begin in the embryo and continue throughout life, enables readers to recognize, understand, and appropriately treat abnormal motor function. This new, expanded edition features enhanced content related to development of specific age groups, with a unique focus on the ongoing development of the healthy older adult. Specifically, the chapters dealing with the skeletal system, the cardiovascular and pulmonary system, and the nervous system have been extensively updated and more comprehensively illustrated.

Covers the development of function throughout the life span and focuses on changes related to motor function that are key to physical and occupational therapy.

Chapter objectives and summaries help readers understand the most important points in a chapter.

Comprehensive, updated reference lists direct the reader to further information on key topics.

A clear and logical text sequence progresses from definitions and basic concepts, to body systems, movement outcomes and implications.

Effective illustrations and photographs, many new to this edition, highlight developmental milestones, development and function of body systems, and movement outcomes.

A two-color design emphasizes significant information in illustrations and highlights key headings in the text.

Clinical Implications sidebars relate chapter content to clinical practice such task-based intervention, osteoporosis prevention, and prescriptions for exercise.

An expanded discussion of assessment tools addresses historically relevant research and examples, as well as the commonly used FIM and Wee-FIM tools.

An enhanced review of theories important to development and functional movement is included.

Expanded discussions of age-related content across the entire life span are presented in one comprehensive source.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
