Description:

In its Third Edition, this text addresses basic and applied physiological properties of skeletal muscle in the context of the physiological effects from clinical treatment.This definitive text on muscle science is used by DPT students in a variety of courses including: Kinesiology, Anatomy and Physiology, Exercise Science, Muscle Science, Movement Science, Musculoskeletal Anatomy. Once considered too high level, the detail provided by Dr. Lieber is becoming right on target with DPT curricula as they seek to expand their offerings.
