Biomechanics in the Musculoskeletal System

by Manohar M. Panjabi, Augustus A. White

Learn the principles of biomechanics that will help you improve patient care and further your understanding of the various aspects of musculoskeletal systems. This book examines the principles of mechanical engineering essential to the musculoskeletal system, and makes these concepts relevant to medical professionals and others who may not have the mathematical background of an engineer. Each biomechanical principle is described in five basic definition; description; lay examples; clinical examples; and explanatory notes. Through this well-illustrated, cohesive discussion of biomechanics, youll find an understandable and logical approach to the musculoskeletal system that will enhance any practice. Each term and principle is presented with a clear, consistent, 5-step definition; description; lay examples; clinical examples; and explanatory notes. High-quality figures make principles accessible to readers with a non-technical background. A small author team, rather than a large number of contributors, brings coherence and consistency
