Biomechanics of skeletal muscles as well as injuries are described in this book in a sophisticated and comprehensive way. It talks about different approaches of Injury and Skeletal Biomechanics. It focuses on the perspectives of force, motion, kinetics, kinematics, deformation, stress and strain examined in various matters like human muscles and skeleton, gait, injury and risk evaluation in a particular situation. The book discusses a myriad of different matters from image processing to articular cartilage biomechanical characteristics, gait behavior in varied situations, and training, to...

In the past few years, there has been an increasing awareness that issues emerging from biology or medicine require an interdisciplinary approach. Hence, certain forms of mathematics and applied physics have arisen; like biomechanics, mathematical biology and mechanobiology among others. This book discusses some general topics regarding biomechanics and mechanobiology, inclusive of theoretical contributions which provide explanations for certain aspects that experiments or clinical studies are unable to do. The book also discusses biomechanical modeling, a speedily growing field of...
