<br/><br/> "Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement, Third Edition serves as an introductory text in biomechanics integrating basic anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology for the study of human movement. Organized into three parts (Foundations of Human Movement, Functional Anatomy, and Mechanical Analysis of Human Movement), this text stresses the quantitative rather than the qualitative nature of biomechanics. This edition acknowledges those with a limited background in mathematics, presents quantitative examples in a detailed, logical manner that highlights topics of interest, and provides meaningful numerical examples easily clearing up misconceptions concerning the mechanics of human movement. Considered to be a "higher" level biomechanics books, this text can be used in both upper level undergraduate and graduate courses. This allows the book to be potentially useful in not only biomechanics courses, but also functional anatomy courses."--Publisher description.
