English | 2020 | ASIN: B087WJ7438 | PDF | pages: 292 | 49.5 mb
This text fills an important gap in applied kinesiology and manual muscle testing literature. A text designed and written to meet the needs of those working with neuromuscular dysfunction in a variety of professions. A comprehensive updating of the scientific rationales and approaches of AK and the importance of the manual muscle test in physical-emotional-nutritional diagnosis. Expanded coverage explores the reliability and validity and the expanding usefulness of the manual muscle test. It provides a comprehensive, highly-illustrated and evidence-based discussion of the relationship of muscle weakness to body pain and dysfunction. An essential rationale for treatment of the musculoskeletal system based on the relationship between the central nervous system and the muscular system. This series of textbooks have been acclaimed by many who are in the process of studying applied kinesiology as a very helpful tool. A thorough understanding of the material in this text will enable a physician or therapist, whatever his or her specialty, to more effectively handle problem patients and get to the basic underlying cause of a condition. The chapter on Applied Kinesiology and Traditional Chinese Medicine covers applied kinesiology’s unique methods of evaluating the meridian system, as well as the contemporary research showing the myofascial system as a metasystem capable of conducting Qi throughout the body. Clearly written and fully illustrated throughout, this text offers practical, comprehensive coverage of the AK approach to holistic health care. The basics of applied kinesiology are presented in a concise, comprehensive, and updated style – all in one volume. Over 200 pages of highly illustrated material from leaders in the field of applied kinesiology ensure the diagnostic and treatment approaches presented are up-to-the-minute and easier to follow than before.

Free Download David S. Walther, Anthony L. Rosner, "Applied Kinesiology: Clinical Techniques for Lower Body Dysfunctions"
English | 2020 | ASIN: B087NP3DD7 | PDF | pages: 325 | 16.5 mb
The comprehensive "one-stop" textbook on lower body pain and dysfunction. This book demonstrates how to find the reason(s) why spinal dysfunctions – even though adequately corrected – continue to return. Comprehensively discusses the theory and practice of the manual evaluation and treatment of chronic pain, especially with regards to the soft tissues of the lower body. A detailed, illustrated, evidence-based discussion of the relationship of muscle weakness to lower body pain and dysfunction. Describes the normal anatomy and physiology as well as the most common disorders. Presents indications for treatments and guidance on making the best treatment choices for each patient. Valuable clinical assessment protocols covering aspects of case history, physical examination supported by AK body language, imaging, and diagnostic methods incorporating the AK triad of health philosophy. A comparative review of clinical findings from objective and subjective examinations for specific foot, ankle, knee, leg, pelvic and lumbar dysfunctions. Powerful updating of the AK and C.A.M. approaches to Systemic Conditions of the lower body. AK research and its application to evidence-based approaches to lower body problems, and several hundred new illustrations. The text integrates standard orthopedic examination and treatment procedures with AK and thoroughly covers the lower extremity. Locating and correcting peripheral nerve entrapment is one of the most often misdiagnosed and mistreated conditions. Over 100 pages covering peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes makes this the largest contribution to this subject in the field.

Free Download Clinical Kinesiology and Biomechanics: A Problem-Based Learning Approach by Gordon J. Alderink , Blake M. Ashby
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 486 Pages | ISBN : 3031253213 | 188.3 MB
This new textbook uses a problem-based learning (PBL) approach for teaching the fundamentals of kinesiology and biomechanics to undergraduate and graduate students in the biomedical, rehabilitative, and exercise science fields. Case vignettes and problems for each major region of the body are presented – cervical spine, thoracic spine and rib cage, lumbar spine and pelvis, shoulder girdle, elbow/forearm, wrist, hand, hip, knee, and ankle/foot. For the cases on the spine and upper extremity, biomechanics of posture are included; for cases involving the hip, knee, and ankle/foot, an extensive study of gait analysis is also incorporated. These case vignettes are not preceded by chapters that provide foundational information. Rather, relevant anatomical, biomechanical, and other information needed to solve/explain each case are embedded in the relevant chapters presenting the clinical cases.
