Foundation in Kinesiology and Biomechanics 2nd edition by Samuels-Colt

Foundation in Kinesiology and Biomechanics, 2nd edition by Samuels-Colt, published by F.A. Davis, gives students a clear introduction to human movement, body mechanics, and the forces that shape functional performance. The text connects anatomy, joint motion, muscle action, posture, gait, and movement analysis to rehabilitation and health science practice. Designed for occupational therapy, physical therapy, athletic training, and related programs, it helps learners apply biomechanical principles to real activities and clinical observations. This edition is well suited for courses that bridge foundational science with hands-on movement assessment.
