Most review copies are eBooks – how fast!
A review copy request is most likely to be fulfilled as an eBook on VitalSource rather than a print product, unless no eBook is available. eBooks become available in as little as a few hours. Print products will take between 7 and 10 days to arrive. To request a print copy, please contact us through the Evolve Support Center for further assistance or contact your Education Solutions Consultant.
Any student who attempts to request a review copy will be reported to the school's faculty and administration.
Only one text focuses on activity demands of occupation including the biomechanics of sensory organs! Kinesiology: Movement in the Context of Activity, 3rd Edition uses a comprehensive, client-centered approach to occupational therapy, including sensory-motor performance skills and socio-cultural contexts related to solving clinical problems. It demonstrates kinesiologic and biomechanical principles to produce positive changes when clients face challenging activity demands in all areas of occupation. Written by OTs for OTs, this reference helps students learn to treat clinical diagnoses as personal experiences encountered in real-life situations.
-
- NEW! Utilizing the Sensory Environment: Integrating Physics into Sensory Interventions chapter explores how the forces used in the application of hands, tools, or equipment activate the sensory receptor cells leading to more reliable assessments and outcomes.
- 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 for students 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 students to apply concepts and solve problems.
- Critical thinking questions, physical activities, and interactive exercises in each chapter 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 system, 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 chapter explores how the forces used in the application of hands, tools, or equipment activate the sensory receptor cells, leading to more reliable assessments and outcomes.
