About the Book

The book provides an introduction to the study of human movement for physiotherapists and other health care professions who undertake the assessment of movement and the rehabilitation of clients with impaired movement and function. It provides the theory that underpins an understanding of human movement and gives a more detailed exploration of how human movement involves different parts of the body. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other scientific books and the plentiful references will help to guide the student to the relevant sources of more in depth information. The focus is on understanding and assessing the movement and function of human beings in their daily environment rather than on the actual treatment for patients with abnormal movement. The text is enlivened by case studies, points for clinical consideration and student tasks and activities. The aim is to whet the appetite of the student for this subject area and to give them sufficient information s and pointers to facilitate further study.

Review :
"It is a perfect introduction to some of the core aspects of physiotherapy..To put it simply, we get coverage of the basic subjects here in fifteen well organised and easy to follow chapters, including everything you would expect to find regarding gravity, forces and levers, muscles and joint motion..This book seems ideal for students and would be valid from day one. It is, in fact, exactly what it says on the cover: an introductory text to human movement, and a thoroughly good one at that."Steve Canning BSc MCSP. In Touch, Summer 2006, No.115.
