"Kinesiology" is the science that deals with the study of human body movement, based on the laws of biomechanics. As a dynamic science, it is constantly evolving, while contemporary research data come to the surface to support, enrich, or refute beliefs and practices that have been applied for decades. The diverse usefulness of Kinesiology, in all professional fields of sciences dealing with rehabilitation (doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, orthopedic designers, etc.) or optimization (physical education scientists, dancers, actors, etc.) of human movement, has led to a multidimensional approach to its principles and applications. However, the modern Greek-language textbooks available in the literature are few and come from various fields, apart from therapeutic rehabilitation.

The Greek edition "Kinesiology: the mechanics and pathomechanics of human movement" comes to fill the gap in Greek literature on this subject. It provides a comprehensive approach to modern Kinesiology, based on the most contemporary research data. The unique characteristic of the book is the analysis of the pathomechanics of each joint and muscle, which aims to approach Kinesiology in clinical applications. The presentation of clinical correlations also helps the reader in introducing the concepts of Kinesiology into clinical practice.

We believe that "Kinesiology: the mechanics and pathomechanics of human movement" is an essential tool for every student involved in the field of therapeutic rehabilitation and a necessary guide for every clinical therapist.
