There is already a wealth of literature covering cumulative trauma
disorders and medical management, as well as the biomechanics of
manual material handling and lower back problems. However, despite
a spike in the number of work-related musculoskeletal disorders
(WRMSDs) in the upper limbs-due to a sharp increase in the amount
of computer-related jobs-few if any books have focused exclusively
on WRMSDs, until now. Biomechanics of the Upper Limbs: Mechanics,
Modeling and Musculoskeletal Injuries, Second Edition offers vital
information and tools to improve analysis of external forces and
their effects on the human body. This can help ergonomists better
understand job stressors and the role they play in the development
of disorders, enabling them to modify the work environment and
educate practitioners to better control harmful situations. Using
the author's medical and engineering expertise to distill essential
subject matter and useful technical data, this comprehensive text
explores: Biomechanics of the upper limbs and the motor control
system The structure and physiology of the human musculoskeletal
and neuromuscular systems Recent research findings and solutions to
various ergonomic problems Models of various components of the
neuromuscular systems, as well as larger systems in the upper limbs
Risk factors for disorders and tools used to identify their causes
Designed as a textbook for a typical semester-long graduate-level
engineering or kinesiology course, this book includes a link to an
ancillary website that offers materials such as PowerPoint (R)
slides, sample exams, and an instructor's manual with complete
solutions. It also serves as a practical, up-to-date,
engineering-oriented resource for researchers, industrial
ergonomists, industrial hygienists, and medical professionals who
require supplementary material.
