Tyldesley and Grieve's muscles, nerves and movement in human occupation

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 byoccupational 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 INDICE: Foreword Preface to the fourth edition Acknowledgements Section I:Introduction to movement Chapter 1 Basic units, structure and function: supporting tissues, muscle and nerve Framework and support: the connective tissues Articulations Skeletal muscle Basic units of the nervous system Muscle tone Summary Chapter 2 Movement terminology The anatomical position Planes and axes of movement Structure and movements at synovial joints Group action and types of muscle work Biomechanical principles Summary Chapter 3 The central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord Part I: The Brain Introduction to the form and structure Cerebral hemispheres Basal ganglia Thalamus Hypothalamus and limbic system Brain stem Cerebellum Summary of brain areas: function in movement Part II: The Spinal Cord Position and segmentation of the spinal cord Spinal reflex pathways Summary of the functions of the spinal cord Summary Chapter 4 The peripheral nervous system: cranial and spinal nerves 84 Introduction Spinalnerves Peripheral nerves Cranial nerves Autonomic nervous system Summary Section II: Anatomy of movement in everyday living Chapter 5 Positioning movements: the shoulder and elbow Introduction Part I: The Shoulder The shoulder (pectoral) girdle The shoulder (glenohumeral) joint Muscles of the shoulder region Part II: The Elbow Elbow position and function The elbow joint Muscles moving the elbow Summary of the shoulder and elbow in functional movements Summary Chapter 6 Manipulative movements: the forearm, wrist and hand Introduction Functions of the forearm and wrist The forearm The wrist Functions of the hand Movements of the hand: fingers and thumb Muscles moving the hand: fingers and thumbTypes of grip Summary of muscles of the forearm and intrinsic muscles of the hand Summary Chapter 7 Nerve supply of the upper limb Introduction The brachial plexus Terminal branches of the brachial plexus Axillary nerve: shoulder movement Spinal segmental innervation of the upper limb Summary Chapter 8 Supportand propulsion: the lower limb Introduction Joints and movements of the pelvis, thigh and leg Muscles of the thigh and leg in support, swing and propulsionFunctions of the foot Summary of the lower limb muscles Summary Chapter 9 Nerve supply of the lower limb Introduction Lumbar plexus: position and formationTerminal branches of the lumbar plexus Sacral plexus: position and formation Terminal branches of the sacral plexus Spinal segmental innervation of the lower limb Summary Chapter 10 Upright posture and breathing: the trunk Introduction Upright posture Breathing Pelvic tilt and the pelvic floor Nerve supply of the muscles of the neck and trunk Summary of the muscles of the trunk Summary Section III: Sensorimotor control of movement Chapter 11 Sensory background tomovement S
