This unique book is perfect for those who are internal consultants...and may not know it...recognize the value of their efforts and help them learn the skills required to optimize their performance. It explains the internal consultant's role and describes the various tasks in which they become engaged. What's more, it provides information that will enable users to improve their performance and deliver greater value. Also included is the Internal Consultant's Web of Change - a tool that will help individuals recognize their strengths and their areas that need improvement. This practical resource does more than start internal consultants on the road to improvement, it accompanies them on the journey! Upper management looking to understand internal consulting, middle tier reliability and maintenance management, and those who hold ""special projects"" positions will find this reference extremely useful.

An In-Depth Resource for Understanding the Foundational Concepts and Clinical Applications in the Field of Biomechanics Winter’s Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement is highly suitable as a textbook for today’s biomechanics students who may come from many diverse academic programs and professional sectors. The work covers foundational theoretical and mathematical concepts in biomechanics, as well as up-to-date data collection, interpretation, and storage techniques. It also highlights the contemporary clinical applications of biomechanical research. New case studies related to cerebral palsy, patellar femoral pain syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, and ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction are also included. The work appeals to a broad audience within the field of biomechanics, an interdisciplinary field with applications in mechanical engineering, medicine, physical therapy, sports and exercise, and product development. Authors at leading universities guide the reader through the latest advancements in the field while also imparting critical foundational knowledge to allow for subject matter mastery and more precise practical application. Concepts covered in the book include: Biomechanical signal processing, anthropometry, kinematics and kinetics, muscle mechanics, and kinesiological electromyographyForward simulations and muscle-actuated simulations, static and dynamic balance, and the role of the central nervous system in biomechanicsMovement sequencing and the kinetic chain concept, electromagnetic systems, inertial sensors, clinical measures of kinematics, and the advantages and disadvantages of different types of force platesMarkerset design and event detection for gait and athletic motions like jumping, landing, and pitchingGuidance on setting up a motion lab and access to online Excel spreadsheets with kinematic and kinetic marker dataBy providing a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge, Winter’s Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement will appeal to biomedical engineers working in the field of biomechanics and allied professionals in the medical, rehabilitation, and sports industries. Its comprehensive overall insight into the field of biomechanics also makes the work a highly useful resource for students and teachers of biomechanics at all levels of experience and expertise.
