Biomechanical analysis of fundamental human movements
Arthur E. Chapman Human
Kinetics, 2008 - Medical - 306 pages Unlike previous biomechanics texts
that have taken a mechanical concept and identified activities in which the
concept is implicated, Biomechanical Analysis of Fundamental Human
Movementstakes a contrary approach by focusing on the activities and then
identifying the biomechanical concepts that best facilitate understanding of
those activities. Superbly illustrated with more than 140 figures depicting
the critical points of biomechanical analysis, this two-color text is an
invaluable tool for those pursuing the study of advanced quantitative
biomechanics. It presents a clear introduction to the principles that
underlie all human motion and provides a complete study of fundamental human
movements and their components. Teachers of human movement, safety equipment
designers, rehabilitation specialists, and students performing advanced
research in the area of human biomechanics will appreciate the scientific and
mathematical focus in the text. This focus allows readers to gain an
understanding of human biomechanics that will enhance their ability to
estimate or calculate loads applied to the body as a whole or induced in
individual structures. Biomechanical Analysis of Fundamental Human
Movementsbegins with a discussion of the principles of biomechanics and then
continues into more advanced study involving the mechanical and mathematical
bases for a range of fundamental human activities and their variations,
including balance, slipping, falling, landing, walking, running, object
manipulation, throwing, striking, catching, climbing, swinging, jumping, and
airborne maneuvers. Each activity is analyzed using a specific seven-point
format that helps readers identify the bimechanical concepts that explain how
the movements are made and how they can be modified to correct problems. The
seven points for analysis are aim, mechanics, biomechanics, variations,
enhancement, safety, and practical examples that move from the simple to the
more complex. More than 140 figures illustrate the points of analysis
throughout the the text, providing readers with a clear depiction of both the
mechanics and mathematics involved in human movements. The logical and
sequential presentation of concepts in Biomechanical Analysis of Fundamental
Human Movementsis complemented by pedagogical elements that reinforce and
expand the readers'understanding. Within each chapter, key points and
highlight boxes summarize critical information, and recommended readings
provide easy access to related reference material. For quick reference,
students can refer to the glossary and the appendix containing a guide to key
symbols representing mechanical variables and mechanical formulae. In
addition, the text features more than 60 problems with answers, categorized
by mechanical concept, for readers to test their understanding of
biomechanical analysis. Biomechanical Analysis of Fundamental Human
Movementsprovides a complete understanding of this branch of human
biomechanics using mechanical, mathematical, and biological definitions and

Neuromechanics of human movement
Roger M. Enoka Human
Kinetics, Jun 30, 2008 - Medical - 549 pages Drawing on the disciplines of
neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human Movement, Fourth
Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles to
produce human motion in relation to biomechanical principles. This
contemporary approach is much different from the traditional approach, which
focuses solely on mechanics and does not consider the role of the sensory
system in the control of human movement. Neuromechanics of Human Movement,
Fourth Edition, provides a scientific foundation to the study of human
movement, and as such it uses precise terms and definitions when discussing
ideas and utilizing the international metric system (SI). Readers will find
an appendix that helps in identifying the SI metric units as well as other
learning tools, including a glossary of terms and two other appendixes that
cover conversion factors and equations. Throughout the text, the content is
visually reinforced with more than 750 illustrations, many of which are new
or upgraded from the previous edition and include specific illustrations of
the neuromechanics involved in sport and rehabilitation movements. Finally, the
text contains more than 1,500 updated references and suggested reading lists
for each chapter. To further enhance this fourth edition, significant content
updates have been made to ensure the latest information is presented for both
research and clinical environments: -New coverage regarding electromyography
(EMG) that demonstrates the connection between the nervous system and the
muscle by measuring the activation signal, allowing readers to better
understand how motion is activated -Additional examples that underscore
recent research developments in reaching and grasping activities for
rehabilitation -In-depth coverage of the motor system that addresses
excitable membranes, muscle and motor units, and voluntary movement -Expanded
discussion of neuromuscular system adaptations to the aging process
-Neuromuscular system adaptations with particular application to
rehabilitation To encourage a comprehensive learning experience, this updated
edition follows a logical progression where each part builds on the material
from the previous section. It begins with an introduction to the
biomechanical terms and concepts commonly used to describe movement, focusing
on the relation between force and motion. Once readers have grasped the basic
laws of motion, the text continues by considering the essential
neurophysiological concepts that help to explain movement produced by the
nervous system and muscle. The author uses a "bottom-up" approach
for this explanation that begins with the principles of electricity and
extends up to connections within the cerebral cortex. This approach
encompasses the essentials of electricity responsible for the excitability of
cell membranes and explains the relations between spinal neurons and muscle
fibers. The third and final part of the text concludes by describing the ways
in which the motor system adapts to various types of physical stress. These
adapative capabilities include altering core temperature, phenomena such as
strength and power training, adaptations that occur after periods of reduced
activity, motor recovery from injury; and changes that occur with aging.
Readers will understand how acute adjustments can be made to the motor system
through interventions such as warm-up, flexibility, muscle soreness, and
muscle fatigue. The fourth edition of Neuromechanics of Human
Movementprovides a scientific basis for the study of human movement while
continuing to expand current knowledge in the fields of biomechanics and
neurophysiology. By integrating these fields in a unique framework, this text
offers professionals and students both valuable clinical information and
inspiration to deepen their study of human movement. |

A primer of biomechanics
George L. Lucas, Francis W. Cooke, Elizabeth A. Friis Springer,
1999 - Medical - 297 pages No training in orthopaedics can be
considered complete unless it includes an in depth exposure to the basic
concepts and techniques of biomechanics. The notion of the human body as a
complex mechanism composed of levers, cables, fulcrums, and force actuators
provides a foundation for much of our current thinking about the function and
treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Yet this very useful body of
knowledge is often inaccessible to the busy resident and practicing
orthopaedist because of the unremitting rigor with which mechanical analysis
is usually pursued and because of the proprietary vocabulary with which it is
often described. In preparing A Primer of Biomechanics, the authors have
broken down these barriers to provide orthopaedic residents, practicing
orthopaedists, and others with a friendlier entree to this important
material. http://books.google.com/books?id=dzgy-KJ46u4C |

Arthroplasty of the Spine
Robert Gunzburg, H. M. Mayer, M. Szpalski Springer,
2004 - Medical - 164 pages Joint replacement is a logical
step in the treatment of severe joint pathologies with irreversible lesions
resisting conservative therapy. At the spinal level, arthrodesis became, very
early, the gold standard of treatment for severe intervertebral disc
pathologies. The next logical step was to envision functional
replacement, and this step was taken as early as 1956, when the first
intervertebral implant was described. However, it took many more years and a
great variety of proposed implant designs before clinical applications could
be attempted. |
