Basic Bimechanic of the muscloskeletal system

Mechanics and biology have always fascinated humankind. The importance of
understanding the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system cannot be
underestimated. Much attention has been paid in recent years to genetic, biological,
and biomolecular research, but the study of the mechanics of structure and of the
whole body system is still of immense importance. Musculoskeletal ailments are
among the most prevalent disorders in the world and will continue to grow as the
population ages.
This text seeks to integrate biomechanical knowledge into clinical training for
patient care. This is not a simple task but by relating the basic concepts of
biomechanics to everyday life, rehabilitation, orthopedics, traumatology, and patient
care are greatly enhanced. Biomechanics is a multidisciplinary specialty, and so we
have made a special effort to invite national and international contributors from
many disciplines so that individuals from different fields may feel comfortable
reading this book. This book is now translated into Cantonese, Dutch, Japanese,
Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
