Produktbeschreibung

Designed to meet the diverse needs of therapists, this book presents a new approach to rehabilitation that integrates ergonomics concepts to address the wide range of problems commonly encountered by professionals. It addresses general concepts such as anthropometry and tissue mechanics and examines whole body biomechanics, demonstrating the ergonomic effects of physiological and biomechanical factors. The book also focuses on regional biomechanics, explaining the rationale for ergonomic intervention, and discusses the ergonomic paradigm in rehabilitation, including the use of physical demands analysis.
