Orthopedic 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.
Beginning 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.
Key Features:
This book also analyzes techniques for changing the effects on bones and joints through therapy, training, external aids, modified behavior, and ergonomic improvements. An essential resource for orthopedists and physical therapists alike, it will help you understand past and current scientific work in the field and how to apply state-of-the-art solutions to the problems you'll encounter on a daily basis.

Neuware -FOUR STARS from Doody's Star Ratings The expanded and fully updated second edition of Orthopedic Biomechanics explains the effects of mechanical influences on the musculoskeletal system and highlights the importance of biomechanical knowledge in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries and disorders. Clear and concise discussion of the forces acting on bones, tendons, and ligaments facilitates a solid understanding of current and past research, complex concepts, and technical information in orthopedic biomechanics. Readers will also find practical guidance for applying their knowledge to solving actual clinical problems.The book begins by summarizing the basic principles of biomechanics and mathematical theory, including biomaterials science, vector algebra, and movement in two and three dimensions. It then moves on to the mechanical properties of musculoskeletal tissues, with chapters devoted to muscle and muscle function; the modeling of joint loads; gait analysis; and the mechanical aspects of the hip, knee, spine, shoulder, and foot.Key Features:- New 'Solved Problems' chapter with clinically relevant biomechanical questions and their step-by-step solutions using mathematical and mechanical reasoning- New chapters on biomechanics of the foot and gait analysis- Detailed descriptions of simplified model calculations for determining static and dynamic joint load-a fundamental issue in orthopedic biomechanics- Essential physics and mathematics only, with limited use of complex vector equations- More than 300 line illustrations- References and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, serving as an overview of scientific work on the topicOrthopedic Biomechanics, 2nd Edition, is an essential resource for practitioners and students of orthopedics, orthopedic surgery, prosthetics and orthotics, and physi 496 pp. Englisch.
