An In-Depth Resource for Understanding the Foundational Concepts
and Clinical Applications in the Field of Biomechanics Winter's
Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement is highly suitable
as a textbook for today's biomechanics students who may come from
many diverse academic programs and professional sectors. The work
covers foundational theoretical and mathematical concepts in
biomechanics, as well as up-to-date data collection,
interpretation, and storage techniques. It also highlights the
contemporary clinical applications of biomechanical research. New
case studies related to cerebral palsy, patellar femoral pain
syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, and ulnar collateral ligament
reconstruction are also included. The work appeals to a broad
audience within the field of biomechanics, an interdisciplinary
field with applications in mechanical engineering, medicine,
physical therapy, sports and exercise, and product development.
Authors at leading universities guide the reader through the latest
advancements in the field while also imparting critical
foundational knowledge to allow for subject matter mastery and more
precise practical application. Concepts covered in the book
include: Biomechanical signal processing, anthropometry, kinematics
and kinetics, muscle mechanics, and kinesiological electromyography
Forward simulations and muscle-actuated simulations, static and
dynamic balance, and the role of the central nervous system in
biomechanics Movement sequencing and the kinetic chain concept,
electromagnetic systems, inertial sensors, clinical measures of
kinematics, and the advantages and disadvantages of different types
of force plates Markerset design and event detection for gait and
athletic motions like jumping, landing, and pitching Guidance on
setting up a motion lab and access to online Excel spreadsheets
with kinematic and kinetic marker data By providing a combination
of theoretical and practical knowledge, Winter's Biomechanics and
Motor Control of Human Movement will appeal to biomedical engineers
working in the field of biomechanics and allied professionals in
the medical, rehabilitation, and sports industries. Its
comprehensive overall insight into the field of biomechanics also
makes the work a highly useful resource for students and teachers
of biomechanics at all levels of experience and expertise.
