Human Orthopaedic Biomechanics: Fundamentals, Devices and
Applications covers a wide range of biomechanical topics and
fields, ranging from theoretical issues, mechanobiology, design of
implants, joint biomechanics, regulatory issues and practical
applications. The book teaches the fundamentals of physiological
loading and constraint conditions at various parts of the
musculoskeletal system. It is an ideal resource for teaching and
education in courses on orthopedic biomechanics, and for
engineering students engaged in these courses. In addition, all
bioengineers who have an interest in orthopedic biomechanics will
find this title useful as a reference, particularly early career
researchers and industry professionals. Finally, any orthopedic
surgeons looking to deepen their knowledge of biomechanical aspects
will benefit from the accessible writing style in this title.
Biomechanics of the Spine encompasses the basics of spine
biomechanics, spinal tissues, spinal disorders and treatment
methods. Organized into four parts, the first chapters explore the
functional anatomy of the spine, with special emphasis on aspects
which are biomechanically relevant and quite often neglected in
clinical literature. The second part describes the mechanics of the
individual spinal tissues, along with commonly used testing set-ups
and the constitutive models used to represent them in mathematical
studies. The third part covers in detail the current methods which
are used in spine research: experimental testing, numerical
simulation and in vivo studies (imaging and motion analysis). The
last part covers the biomechanical aspects of spinal pathologies
and their surgical treatment. This valuable reference is ideal for
bioengineers who are involved in spine biomechanics, and spinal
surgeons who are looking to broaden their biomechanical knowledge
base. The contributors to this book are from the leading
institutions in the world that are researching spine biomechanics.
