Dynamic Modeling of Musculoskeletal Motion introduces biomechanists
at all levels of expertise to modern methods of modeling and
analyzing dynamic biomechanical systems in three dimensions. Using
vector kinematics, the reader is taught a systematic method which
significantly reduces the complexity of working with multiple,
moving limb segments in three dimensions. Operations which usually
require the application of differential calculus are replaced by
simple algebraic formulae. To derive dynamical equations of motion,
a practical introduction to Kane's Method is given. Kane's Method
builds upon the foundation of vector kinematics and represents one
of the most exciting theoretical developments of the modern era.
Together, these techniques enable biomechanists to decipher and
model living systems with great realism, efficiency and accuracy.
Using these methods, much more time can be spent on biomechanical
issues, and much less time must be expended tediously deriving
equations of motion. Interwoven with the theoretical presentation
are chapters and examples which highlight the subtle differences
between inanimate linkages and the biomechanical systems we seek to
understand.
