Editorial Reviews for Basic Biomechanics: WITH OLC
|
This book provides an introduction to biomechanics using the latest findings from the research literature to support and exemplify the concepts presented. Quantitative as well as qualitative examples of problems illustrate biomechanical principles. Quantitative aspects are presented in a manageable, progressive fashion to make biomechanical principles accessible to all students, regardless of their mathematical skills. - Topics added or significantly expanded include bone modelling and remodelling, osteoporosis, the female athlete triad, bone changes during space flight, joint flexibility, articular cartilage function, osteoarthritis, muscle fibre type conversion, eccentric muscle activity, the stretch-shortening cycle, muscle injuries, rotator cuff impingement syndrome, ACL rupture, low back pain, and gait economy. - Now included are end of chapter glossaries, key concepts, marginal definitions, sample problems, chapter summaries, introductory and additional problems, and references. - An Online Learning Centre box appearing on the opening page of every chapter, directing the student to resources online, while related web sites at the end of each chapter offer pertinent web sources.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Good = POOR CONDITION
Comment: I was really disappointed when I got my book in the mail. I realize that paperbacks do not last as long as hard cover, but the cover was not in "good" condition and there was writing all over the inside of my book. In pen and not neat at all. If I would have know what "good" means, I would have not bought this book, especially when I could have gotten a nicer book from the book store for the same price. :(
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not worth it!
Comment: The math in this book is NOT explained well, and not all of the answers are given. Let's not forget either that HOW to get the answers are not given. This book is less than adequate to learn important information for your future career and more than useless! And seriously, I've never taken math over Algebra (because I don't need it) and this book is WAY over my head. No explanations what-so-ever. Don't waste your time.
It does however help to have a professor who can actually teach the class, especially the math. I have neither!

Summary: Biomechanics for Biomedical Engineering Freshman
Comment: The book covers both the anatomy and the mechanics of the human body. The mechanics is rather basic but suitable for undergaduates who have not taken a proper course in engineering mechanics. The materials on anatomy are well presented. The book gives a good introduction of the application of engineering mechanics to the analysis of the human body mechanical systems. I have recommended this as a text for my first year (second semester) biomedical engineering students. Very suitable for students who have followed a basic course in anatomy and high school mathematics.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Useful in occupational medicine, ergonomics and orthopedics
Comment: This work is more related to sport medicine. Nevertheless, this detailed study in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and trauma makes it very useful to occupational physicians and orthopedists, since it allows a better understanding of ergonomics and musculoskeletal injuries, including the overuse ones. The pictures are plentiful and quite elucidative.
