Dynamic Human Anatomy - William C. Whiting

Understand and apply complex human movement concepts. Dynamic Human Anatomy, Third Edition With HKPropel Access, covers concepts not found in traditional anatomy texts. It sets itself apart by linking anatomy to biomechanics principles to explain fundamental movements and movement patterns. With a greater understanding of anatomy in conjunction with how the body moves, students planning for a career in any field of human movement—including those pursuing preclinical degrees—will be better prepared to assess muscle action and employ specific movement applications. The third edition of Dynamic Human Anatomy provides students with an understanding of the body's structure as it explores the complexity of the body's functional movement anatomy. Unlike many titles that focus primarily on sport mechanics, this text also offers supporting information on everyday body motions.
