Basic Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System-3판(2001)

Unique in its direct and comprehensive approach, 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 features
contributions from a variety of disciplines including
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 importance of
biomechanics study and includes the International System of
Units appendix. A new section on Applied Biomechanics includes
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 studies apply biomechanical knowledge
to practice. Additional illustrations, including radiological
images, enhance comprehension.
