It is targeted primarily for physical therapy students (but also can be used by occupational therapy and athletic training students) who are preparing for entry-level practice involved in the assessment of and intervention in human musculoskeletal function and dysfunction. Well-referenced, up-to-date research and the liberal use of figures, examples, and tables make this the most educationally comprehendible text on the market. Bonus Inside! Kinesiology videos on DVD
