Now in its fourth edition 'Tyldesley and Grieve's Muscles, Nerves and
Movement' has established itself as the leading textbook for the study
of movement by occupational therapists. The book provides students with
a sound understanding of the way in which bones, joints, muscles and
nerves allow the body to perform movement during daily activities.
Early chapters provide a foundation for the study of movement, with the
complexity of detail increasing as the book progresses. Functional
anatomy is related to the movements of daily living and is supported by
activities for experiencing and observing the way we perform everyday
tasks. Later chapters consider the integration of sensory and motor
processes for the planning and execution of movement.
This fourth edition has been extensively updated and revised. Highly
illustrated and now in full colour throughout the book also includes:
- Case histories with self assessment exercises
- Summary boxes
- Key terms
- Practice notepads
