•32 years of working experience in clinical biomechanics treating patients •Designed and currently leading a PG module at Staffordshire University, titled “Principles of Biomechanics”. •Designed and involved in the delivery of a PG MSc level module titled “Origins and Principles of Clinical biomechanics” at Staffordshire University, since 1999. •Guest lecturer as School of Podiatry, Caledonia University Glasgow •Published theoretical and clinical papers on clinical biomechanics. Dr. Chockalingam is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine. He is also a Chartered Engineer, a Chartered Scientist and a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. As Professor of Clinical Biomechanics, he directs the Movement Analysis Laboratory and lead the biomechanics team and research at Staffordshire University. He is also an Affiliate Professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Malta and a Visiting Professor at the Department of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy, Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai. In terms of research leadership and management, Dr. Chockalingam is involved with the strategic committees and executive boards of various national and international organisations. Within Staffordshire University, in addition to contributing to committees across institution, he also chairs the University Research Ethics Committee and lead the University Professoriate.

"The content will be a lot more familiar to those who have previously explored biomechanics related to musculoskeletal dysfunction. this book is structured in a logical format. Chapters are introduced and summarised, and littered with extremely useful diagrams and figures that bring to life the descriptions and narratives within the text." --Dr. Helen Branthwaite, The Podiatrist
