This key text presents the basic entities, measurements, and applications of biomechanics in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. It analyses the mechanical interactions ofvarious tissue systems such as bone, ligament, tendon and muscle while also demonstrating the importance of biomechanical analysis to the understanding of muscle-joint interactions, and implications for normal and abnormal functioning. It details the clinical application of biomechanics for an array of diagnostic and treatment methods allowing the reader to apply the theory to everyday life.
Leading authorities provide an exploration of biomechanics focusing on specific issues related to diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal problems. Discussions point out the critical significance of biomechanical analysis to the understanding of muscle-joint interactions and the implications for normal and abnormal function.
