Other common medical terminology used in health studies are also included. Many of these terms will appear again and again in medical/health related subjects.
Presenting the fundamental concepts that are required for further study and research in this field, Principles of Biomechanics focuses on biosystems and the human body in particular. After a brief introduction to the concepts of biosystem modeling, the book discusses elementary mechanics, including methods of analysis, and introduces the human skeletal anatomy. Subsequent chapters address the mechanics of deformable bodies, dynamics, tissue biomechanics, ergonomics, kinematics, fluid mechanics, and circulatory systems. With a wide range of examples and problems, this complete text also provides numerical procedures and specific applications in performance, injury, and rehabilitation.
