The Kinesiology Workbook

The Kinesiology Workbook by Jan F. Perry, published by Davis in 1996, is a comprehensive resource that spans 206 pages. This edition focuses on key aspects of kinesiology, including coupled motions in the spine and palpation techniques that support manual therapy. It also addresses activities designed to help differentiate between tight muscles or tendons and tight joint structures, providing a practical approach to understanding physical therapy concepts.

Readers will find detailed discussions on various topics, with a notable emphasis on gait analysis. Chapter 12 shifts from a static to a dynamic analysis of gait, incorporating the Rancho Los Amigos (RLA) terminology. This workbook serves as a valuable tool for those studying medical and allied health services, particularly in the context of physical therapy. The clear layout and focused content make it suitable for both students and practitioners in the field.
