Tillämpad biomekanik är en helt omarbetad upplaga av Exempelsamling i biomekanik med nya räkneexempel, en omfattande litteraturgenomgång och tabeller över belastningar på olika kroppsdelar som förekommer i dagliga livet. Varje exempel följs av diskussionsfrågor, som också kommenteras i facit. Diskussionsfrågorna anknyter till klinisk och epidemiologisk forskning och belyser möjligheter och begränsningar med exemplen. Avsikten är att materialet ska kunna ligga till grund för en resultatinriktad planering av rehabilitering eller prevention.Boken är avsedd både för undervisning och självstudier och riktar sig till en rad vårdkategorier som arbetar med rörelseorganens sjukdomar och till ergonomer och andra som arbetar inom det förebyggande området. De yrkesgrupper som kan vara aktuella är sjukgymnaster, läkare, arbetsterapeuter, kiropraktorer, naprapater, ergonomer, idrottslärare, friskvårdskonsulenter, hälsovetare m.fl.

Biomechanics applies the principles and rigor of engineering to the mechanical properties of living systems. This book integrates the classic fields of mechanics--statics, dynamics, and strength of materials--using examples from biology and medicine. Fundamentals of Biomechanics is excellent for teaching either undergraduates in biomedical engineering programs or health care professionals studying biomechanics at the graduate level. Extensively revised from a successful first edition, the book features a wealth of clear illustrations, numerous worked examples, and many problem sets. The book provides the quantitative perspective missing from more descriptive texts, without requiring an advanced background in mathematics. It will be welcomed for use in courses such as biomechanics and orthopedics, rehabilitation and industrial engineering, and occupational or sports medicine.

Clinically focused, clearly written and vibrantly illustrated, this introductory text equips students with a working knowledge of the force-motion relationship within the musculoskeletal system and the use of biomechanical principles in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction in clinical settings. Content progresses logically, introducing the basic terminology and concepts of biomechanics and providing focused perspectives on the biomechanics of tissues and structures, the biomechanics of joints and applied biomechanics — with case studies throughout to integrate biomechanical knowledge into clinical training for patient care. This updated 5th Edition of Basic Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System highlights the global relevance of musculoskeletal biomechanics and features new full-color images that demonstrate biomechanical movement with vivid detail. NEW! Two new chapters familiarize students with biomechanical approaches to the thoracic spine and rib cage, and typical postures (such as squatting) and their biomechanical impact upon indigenous people throughout the world. UPDATED! Revised content throughout acquaints students with the most up-to-date and clinically relevant perspectives. NEW! Full-color illustrations clarify structures and movements with engaging detail. Clinical case studies help students link biomechanical knowledge to practical applications.

Con un enfoque clínico, claramente escrito y acompañado de cientos de ilustraciones, Bases biomecánicas del sistema musculoesquelético brinda a los estudiantes conocimiento práctico sobre la relación fuerza-movimiento en el sistema musculoesquelético y el uso de los principios biomecánicos en la evaluación y el tratamiento de la disfunción musculoesquelética en entornos clínicos.Esta 5.ª edición comienza con una introducción a la terminología de la biomecánica y continúa con sus conceptos básicos, proporcionando perspectivas centradas en la biomecánica de los tejidos y las estructuras, la de las articulaciones y la aplicada. También contiene estudios de casos para integrar los conocimientos biomecánicos en la formación clínica para la atención al paciente.La obra está dividida en tres secciones. La primera, “biomecánica de los tejidos y estructuras del sistema musculoesquelético”, cubre la mecánica básica del hueso, el cartílago articular, los tendones y ligamentos, los nervios periféricos y el músculo esquelético. La segunda sección abarca la mecánica de las articulaciones y presenta los principales sistemas articulares del cuerpo humano. Por último, la tercera sección cubre algunos tópicos importantes sobre biomecánica aplicada e incluye cuatro capítulos sobre fijación de fracturas, artroplastia, marcha y posturas autóctonas.
