Biomechanics of Movement: The Science of Sports, Robotics, and Rehabilitation 1st Edition

Excellent textbook for biomedical education. Supplemented by a comprehensive series of lectures on YouTube.Covers biomechanics of walking and running, simulation software “Open Sim”, neurological disorders and a bit of assistive robotics.

This is a truly outstanding reference. The authors are equally pioneers and cutting edge researchers of the mechanics of the human body. The text is clear and understandable at many levels, while being detailed and insightful. The illustrations are some of the best I have seen and add tremendous value to the clarity of the descriptions. This is a landmark publication in this critical field that melds medicine and engineering. Well done!

This is the best biomechanics textbook. It clearly lays out an engineering approach to biomechanics and the fundamental assumptions that have supported the growth of the field in an extremely clear way. This textbook is perfect for an introductory biomechanics class

Good quality paper and beautifully illustrated book but you may need graduate studies in math (I do not have) or have training in this field to understand some of the more advanced sections.

Great book, arrived in perfect conditions.

Great book! Fun to read and beautifully illustrated. Good for any one interested in human movement, sports, robotics, or computer science/animation. Great info about fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle.

This is not an entry level text. It incorporates graduate level material, which I wouldn’t mind if it covered more than the mechanics of walking and running. What about fast twitch and slow twitch muscles? What about hands on treatments for sprains or rehabilitation of torn muscles? Not a word. This book has nothing for a student of kinesiology. It doesn’t live up to its billing.
