Comparative Kinesiology of the Human Body

Dr. Salih Angin has been teaching and maintains a clinical practice in physiotherapy for over 27 years. He specializes in kinesiology prosthetics & orthotics, and exercise science. He has serviced patients in a normal and wide variety of pathological conditions from low back pain, amputees to nerve and tendon injuries. Dr. Ibrahim Engin Simsek is an associate professor at Dokuz Eylül University, School of Physical Therapy. Lecturer in kinesiology, prosthetics and orthotics. His main areas of interest include human movement and kinesiology, orthotic appliances, Cad-cam manufacturing in orthotics and prosthetics. His most recent research has been dedicated to postural control and vertical perception in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, kinematics and kinetics of falling in humans, and postural control in hypermobility syndromes. Dr. Simsek serves as editor for two industry journals
