توضیحات انگلیسی

Comparative Kinesiology of the Human Body: Normal and Pathological Conditions covers changes in musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary systems that, when combined, are the three pillars of human movement. It examines the causes, processes, consequences and contexts of physical activity from different perspectives and life stages, from early childhood to the elderly. The book explains 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 that affect human growth patterns and development throughout the lifespan (embryo, child, adult and geriatrics).

This book is the perfect reference for researchers in kinesiology, but it is also ideal for clinicians and students involved in rehabilitation practice

Dr. Salih Angin has been teaching and maintains a clinical practice in physiotherapy for over 27 years. He specializes in kinesiology prosthetics & orthotics, and exercise science. He has serviced patients in a normal and wide variety of pathological conditions from low back pain, amputees to nerve and tendon injuries.

Dr. Ibrahim Engin Simsek is an associate professor at Dokuz Eylül University, School of Physical Therapy. Lecturer in kinesiology, prosthetics and orthotics. His main areas of interest include human movement and kinesiology, orthotic appliances, Cad-cam manufacturing in orthotics and prosthetics. His most recent research has been dedicated to postural control and vertical perception in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, kinematics and kinetics of falling in humans, and postural control in hypermobility syndromes. Dr. Simsek serves as editor for two industry journals
