| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the author's critique of the traditional kinesiology terminologies used to describe muscle attachments and actions. Topics discussed include the author's belief that muscles do not differentiate between their attachments and that the terms "proximal" and "distal" would be more appropriate descriptors. |
