PY - 2019 T2 - Joint Structure & Function: A Comprehensive Analysis, 6e AB - Humans have the capacity to produce a nearly infinite variety of postures and movements that require the structures of the human body to both generate and respond to forces that produce and control movement of the body’s joints. Although it is impossible to capture all the kinesiologic elements that contribute to human musculoskeletal function at a given point in time, knowledge of at least some of the physical principles that govern the body’s response to active and passive stresses is a prerequisite to an understanding of both human function and dysfunction.
