About this ebook
The Manual of Structural Kinesiology (2026 Release, International Student Edition) by R.T. Floyd comprehensively covers the structural foundations of human anatomy, musculoskeletal functions, and movement dynamics. [1, 2]
The textbook is structurally organized into the following core topics and chapters: [1, 2]
Foundational Concepts
  • Chapter 1: Foundations of Structural Kinesiology – Introduction to the mechanical and anatomical terms, planes of motion, and skeletal structures. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 2: Neuromuscular Fundamentals – Mechanics of muscle contractions, fiber types, neural control, and how nerves stimulate muscle tissue. [1, 2]
  • Chapter 3: Basic Biomechanical Factors and Concepts – Applications of leverage, torque, balance, and laws of motion to body movement. [1, 2]
Upper Extremities
  • Chapter 4: The Shoulder Girdle – Detailed analysis of the bones, joints, and musculature regulating scapular movements.
  • Chapter 5: The Shoulder Joint – Focus on the glenohumeral joint, rotator cuff muscles, and primary movers.
  • Chapter 6: The Elbow and Radioulnar Joints – Anatomy and movement mechanics of flexion, extension, pronation, and supination.
  • Chapter 7: The Wrist and Hand Joints – Intricate grouping of muscles controlling fine motor movements and grip. [1, 2, 3]
Lower Extremities
  • Chapter 8: The Hip Joint and Pelvic Girdle – Exploration of the pelvic structure and heavy movers of the hip.
  • Chapter 9: The Knee Joint – Crucial stabilization structures, ligaments, and tracking mechanics of the knee.
  • Chapter 10: The Ankle and Foot Joints – Mechanics of the lower leg, ankle stability, and gait components. [1, 2]
Axial Skeleton & Functional Application
  • Chapter 11: The Trunk and Spinal Column – Core musculature, posture, and regional dynamics of the vertebrae.
  • Chapter 12: Muscular Analysis of Selected Exercises and Related Concepts – Real-world breakdown of exercise movements, identifying target muscle groups and kinetic chains. [1, 2]
