This book has established itself as the leading textbook for thestudy of movement by occupational therapists. Two senior tutors inoccupational therapy act as consultants on this new third edition.
The early chapters provide a foundation for the study ofmovement with the complexity of detail increasing as the bookprogresses. The functional anatomy is related to the movements ofdaily living and is supported by activities for experiencing andobserving the way we perform everyday tasks. The later chaptersconsider the integration of sensory and motor processes in thenervous system for the planning and execution of movement. Clinicalnote-pads link the basic knowledge to the clinical features ofcommon orthopaedic and neurological problems.
