DESCRIPTION:
Aaron Lucas said Intriduction at best. This book kinda skims along the basics of human body dynamics. It worked really well for my class, a mechanical engineering elective. My profesor has his doctorate both as a mechanical engineer and as a medical doctor, He believes that this is the best book out currently but is still very lacking. Especially when dealing directly with engineering. "Really Biomechanics and a Good Buy" according to Wan Abu Bakar Wan Abas, Prof. Dr.. A very good presentation of the knowledge of engineering mechanics applied to human motion. The first chapter provides a necessary and sufficient outline of the human system and the related studies. After that, basic engineering mechanics theories are discussed with elaborations and examples zeroing on human body motions. A candidate for a textbo
From the reviews:"This book represents a very ambitious undertaking of providing, in a single volume, a comprehensive exposition of the kinematics and dynamics governing the motion of the human body as well as a complete course of general mechanics. A concise, comprehensive, well-written and well-illustrated first chapter gives a necessary introduction to the anatomy of the human body. University students interested in careers in medicine or bioengineering may find it an interesting alternative to the standard courses in mechanics." Maciej P. This,
A quantitative approach to studying human biomechanics, presenting principles of classical mechanics using case studies involving human movement. Vector algebra and vector differentiation are used to describe the motion of objects and 3D motion mechanics are treated in depth. Diagrams and software-created sequences are used to illustrate human movement.
