Clinical kinesiology and biomechanics a problem-based learning approach

Clinical kinesiology and biomechanics a problem-based learning approach / Gordon J. Alderink, Blake M. Ash.

This new textbook uses a problem-based learning (PBL) approach for teaching the fundamentals of kinesiology and biomechanics to undergraduate and graduate students in the biomedical, rehabilitative, and exercise science fields. Case vignettes and problems for each major region of the body are presen...
