Synopsis: This book presents essential information on the various concepts of biomechanics and kinesiology applied to human body, also describing in depth the understanding of the various physical and mathematical principles applied towards understanding of this science of movement. It tries to simplify this biological movement science by facilitating easy understanding of the various applications of the forces acting on the human body. This book provides a deep insight to the clinical gait analysis and it’s interpretations with graphical outputs, it also covers important topics such as biomechanics of important human joints such as neck, shoulder, spine, hip, knee and ankle with their recent advances. It also includes chapters on biomechanical instrumentation and their interpretation. Another highlight of the book is chapters on biomechanical motion analysis systems used for athletes. This book offers a valuable resource for medical and paramedical students, researchers and clinicians practicing musculoskeletal and manual therapy, aiding researchers gaining insight to human biomechanics.
