TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Introduction A1 - Houglum, Peggy A. A1 - Bertoti, Dolores B. Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Brunnstrom's Clinical Kinesiology, 6e AB - This book is written with a strong clinical base and perspective. The minimal biomechanical elements in this book are included only to allow an understanding of the clinical importance of these applications. The book is written with the intent of direct application of information to clinical, functional, and practical use. To that end, throughout the chapters there are Practice Points. These are special inserts that are related to the topic at hand and provide special clinical insight, information, or application of the topic discussed. The experience of the authors enables these “tidbits” of clinical reality to bring meaning to the information presented. The start of each chapter presents a Clinical Scenario. These clinical scenarios are again addressed at the end of the chapter, after the reader has acquired insight and information that assists him or her in realizing the significance of the scenario. Clinical relevance of information is repeated throughout the chapters to encourage students to see why it is important to know and understand the concepts presented throughout the text. The end of each chapter includes two types of exercises: discussion questions and lab activities. The discussion questions are thought-provoking as well as reminders of the more important take-home points of the chapter. The lab activities may be performed in small groups or individually and are intended to apply hands-on elements of the lessons within the chapter. SN - PB - F. A.
