Comparative Kinesiology of the Human Body in Normal and Pathological Conditions

Comparative Kinesiology of the Human Body in Normal and Pathological Conditions covers the changes in musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary systems, which are the three pillars of human movement. It examines the causes, processes, consequences, and contexts of physical activity from different perspectives and in different life stages including early childhood to elderly. It goes on to further explain how purposeful movement of the human body is affected by pathological conditions related to any of these major systems. Coverage also includes external and internal factors (such as forces and other stresses) that affect the human growth pattern and development, and throughout lifespan (embryo, child, adult and geriatrics). The perfect reference for researchers of kinesiology as well as clinicians and students involved in rehabilitation practice. Explores the three pillars of human activity: the musculoskeletal system as the body segments where and how motion occurs; the neurological system as the sensory-motor control of human movement, and the cardio-pulmonary system as source of energy supply for the moving bodyIncludes in depth coverage of the mechanical behaviour of the embryo as one of the major determinants of human movement throughout the life cycleProvides a comparison of human movement between normal and pathological conditions as well as clinical implications for understanding the underlying mechanisms of the movement disordersSystematically addresses each body region in functional and dysfunctional kinesiological terms INDICE: PART 1: HISTORY AND BASICS OF KINESIOLOGY 1.
