Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury


In the first book of its kind, noted biomechanists William Whiting and Ronald Zernicke explore the mechanical bases of musculoskeletal injury to better understand causal mechanisms, the effect of injury on musculoskeletal tissues, and how our current knowledge of biomechanics can contribute to injury prevention. Medical books Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury. /p>

Never before has the broad spectrum of injury mechanics been covered so completely in a single book. From introductory biomechanics to detailed examinations of the mechanical aspects of common injuries, Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury provides a solid foundation for in-depth study. The book includes comprehensive information on
-the basic biomechanical concepts of force, stress and strain, stiffness, and elasticity;

-the mechanics of joints that are subject to disabling injury;

-the structure of connective tissues (bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments), which are most often involved in musculoskeletal injuries; and

-factors such as age, gender, nutrition, and exercise, which affect the musculoskeletal system's response to force.
After providing the reader with a fundamental understanding of tissue structure and function, the authors then proceed with detailed explorations of the mechanisms of common injuries, including
-inversion ankle sprains, stress fractures, and other lower-extremity injuries;

-rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other injuries to the upper extremities; and

-concussions, intervertebral disc injuries, and other injuries that afflict the head, neck, and trunk Medical books Biomechanics Of Musculoskeletal Injury Whiting, William C., Ph.d./ Zernicke, Ron. age level from 18 to 99 author ronald f zernicke author william c whiting format hardback language english publication year 11 04 2008 subject medicine subject 2 medicine textbooks study guides title biomechanics of musculoskeletal injury author whiting william c ph d zernicke ron publisher human kinetics publication date mar 31 2008 pages 350 binding hardcover edition 2 nd dimensions 8 75 wx 11 75 hx 1 25 d isbn 0736054421 subject health fitness diseases musculoskeletal description whiting bi
