FOUR STARS from Doody's Star Ratings (TM) The expanded and fully
updated second edition of Orthopedic Biomechanics explains the
effects of mechanical influences on the musculoskeletal system and
highlights the importance of biomechanical knowledge in the
prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries
and disorders. Clear and concise discussion of the forces acting on
bones, tendons, and ligaments facilitates a solid understanding of
current and past research, complex concepts, and technical
information in orthopedic biomechanics. Readers will also find
practical guidance for applying their knowledge to solving actual
clinical problems. The book begins by summarizing the basic
principles of biomechanics and mathematical theory, including
biomaterials science, vector algebra, and movement in two and three
dimensions. It then moves on to the mechanical properties of
musculoskeletal tissues, with chapters devoted to muscle and muscle
function; the modeling of joint loads; gait analysis; and the
mechanical aspects of the hip, knee, spine, shoulder, and foot. Key
Features: New "Solved Problems" chapter with clinically relevant
biomechanical questions and their step-by-step solutions using
mathematical and mechanical reasoning New chapters on biomechanics
of the foot and gait analysis Detailed descriptions of simplified
model calculations for determining static and dynamic joint load-a
fundamental issue in orthopedic biomechanics Essential physics and
mathematics only, with limited use of complex vector equations More
than 300 line illustrations References and suggestions for further
reading at the end of each chapter, serving as an overview of
scientific work on the topic Orthopedic Biomechanics, 2nd Edition,
is an essential resource for practitioners and students of
orthopedics, orthopedic surgery, prosthetics and orthotics, and
physiotherapy. Comprehensive in scope but approachable in coverage,
the book provides the insights and tools needed to make informed
clinical decisions.
