Contents:
1. Biomechanics as an interdiscipline -- 2. Kinematics -- 3. Anthropometry -- 4. Kinetics : forces and moments of force -- 5. Mechanical work, energy, and power -- 6. Synthesis of human movement - forward solutions -- 7. Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics -- 8. Muscle mechanics -- 9. Kinesiological electromyography -- App. A. Kinematic, kinetic, and energy data -- App. B. Units and definitions related to biomechanical and electromyographical measurements.
Summary: An updated version of the classic book on human movement in biomechanics, this highly informative third edition treats each limb of the body as a separate segment connected at hinge joints. Actuators replace muscles, and torque motors replace the net effect of all muscles, an essential resource for students and researchers.Review: "Complete with basic physics principles presented in capsule form for quick reference, Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement, Third Edition is an essential resource for students and researchers."--BOOK JACKET.
