Written by a physical therapist assistant who teaches anatomy and kinesiology, this workbook begins with the basics of anatomy, covering terminology and then describing bones, joints, and muscle structure. It next moves to the heart of the book which covers movement. Chapters on the nervous, cardiovascular, and cardiopulmonary systems plus an applications chapter round out the book. Lab exercises, activities, chapter objectives, vocabulary lists, and numerous tables and figures bring this material to the students' level and create an interactive format for learning the difficult concepts and applications of anatomy and movement.
* Flows easily from simple concepts to the more complex elements involved in movement, so readers won't feel overwhelmed as the material becomes more advanced. * An entire chapter is devoted to terminology to help students develop a professional vocabulary, preparing them to handle patient care documentation appropriately. * Offers invaluable, detailed information about muscles and joints. * Includes chapters on nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems and shows how these systems work with the musculoskeletal system to effect movement. * Important chapter on applications discusses the musculoskeletal system in terms of functional activities, demonstrating the practical side of anatomy and movement. * Each chapter contains objectives and vocabulary lists and is well-illustrated to enhance learning and retention of material. * Written at a level appropriate for many paraprofessional disciplines by a PTA who teaches anatomy and rehabilitation. * Workbook format is filled with lab exercises and activities that help reinforce learning. * Includes a comprehensive bibliography at the end of the book for further referencing.
