Book Overview
>>>Distinctive in its direct and complete strategy, this Third Edition presents a working knowledge of biomechanical principles for use in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. Three sections address the biomechanics of musculoskeletal tissues and structures, the biomechanics of all human joints, and applied biomechanics. The book functions contributions from a variety of disciplines like orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, hand surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, sports medicine, biomechanical engineering and anesthesiology.This edition’s new introductory chapter explains the significance of biomechanics study and incorporates the “International Method of Units” appendix. A new section on “Applied Biomechanics” incorporates chapters on fracture fixation arthroplasty standing, sitting, and lying and gait. Boxes with biomechanical computations promote comprehension of biomechanical principles. Practical examples and clinical case research apply biomechanical knowledge to practice. Further illustrations, which includes radiological images, improve comprehension.A Brandon-Hill recommended title….
