5.0 out of 5 stars Best Kinesiology Textbook for Joint Mechanics!, November 15, 2003

Dr. Joseph Muscolino (Redding, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System (Hardcover)

As an Instructor of Musculoskeletal anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology classes, Chiropractor, and author of books on the musculoskeletal system, I buy and read most every book published on the subject of kinesiology. Donald Neumann's book on Kinesiology is hands-down the absolute best kinesiology textbook out for joint mechanics. His book is clearly written in a straight-forward manner that makes it accessible to most anyone and yet it is also the most thorough book on this subject. Further, Elisabeth Rowan's illustrations are the best I have ever seen in a kinesiology text; they are sharp and clear, enabling 3-Dimensional movement to be easily visualized on a 2-Dimensional page. I believe that this book is a must for any student of the musculoskeletal system!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excels in explaining 3D motion on the 2D page, July 14, 2002

Jennifer C Schaufer (Antigo WI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System (Hardcover)

Very clear explanations of movement systems. The book is divided into regions of the body and a chapter on gait. The illustrations are excellent and help the reader to make connections between the body and outside and muscular forces acting on it. Highly recommended, esp. for those who took a kinesio course a while ago, and could use a good reference and refresher to apply to the clinic.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System (Hardcover)

This was a text in my master's program, I now work developing education programs for personal trainers and use Neumann's book as a prime reference. The author does an excellent job of describing how muscles function in vertical, upright movements as opposed to how they are often described from a horizontal, supine position on a table. This book is a must-have reference for any fitness professional interested in understand human movement as it relates to the environment

5.0 out of 5 stars kinesiology text book
This book had many details that will help establish one's foundation of kinesiology. It is more advanced but is necessary for a graduate level course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kinesiology
Useful book for PTs, not for LMTs. Book full of information if you like to know more about Kinesiology beyond massage school material

Published on June 13, 2008 by Svetlana Shubina

3.0 out of 5 stars good for beginners
This text has great illustrations, but some of the writing is more simple than could be expected for doctoral students.
