Biomechanics applies the principles and rigor of engineering to the
mechanical properties of living systems. This book integrates the
classic fields of mechanics--statics, dynamics, and strength of
materials--using examples from biology and medicine. Fundamentals
of Biomechanics is excellent for teaching either undergraduates in
biomedical engineering programs or health care professionals
studying biomechanics at the graduate level. Extensively revised
from a successful first edition, the book features a wealth of
clear illustrations, numerous worked examples, and many problem
sets. The book provides the quantitative perspective missing from
more descriptive texts, without requiring an advanced background in
mathematics. It will be welcomed for use in courses such as
biomechanics and orthopedics, rehabilitation and industrial
engineering, and occupational or sports medicine.
