Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eOrthopedic Biomechanics sheds light on an important and interesting discipline at the interface between medical and natural sciences. Understanding the effects of mechanical influences on the human body is the first step toward developing innovative treatment and rehabilitation concepts for orthopedic disorders. This book provides valuable information on the forces acting on muscles, tendons, and bones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeginning with the step-by-step fundamentals of physics and mechanics, it goes on to cover the function and loading of joints, movement in two- and three-dimensions, and the properties of biological tissues. This book explains the practical importance of biomechanics, including special chapters addressing the mechanical causes of disk prolapse, load on the spine in sitting and standing positions, and the correlation between mechanical loading and bone density. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited use of complex vector equations while  providing in-depth treatment analysis  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExquisitely illustrated, detailed descriptions of  the mechanical aspects of every major joint in the body: hip, shoulder, knee,  and lumbar spine  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive references for further information  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValuable appendixes describing the interaction  between mechanical and biological functions as well as mathematical tools  necessary to understand technically demanding concepts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book also analyzes techniques for changing the effects on bones and joints through therapy, training, external aids, modified behavior, and ergonomic improvements.
