How do Olympic sprinters run so fast? Why do astronauts adopt a bounding gait on the moon? How do running shoes improve performance while preventing injuries? This engaging and generously illustrated book answers these questions by examining human and animal movement through the lens of mechanics. The authors present simple conceptual models to study walking and running and apply mechanical principles to a range of interesting examples. They explore the biology of how movement is produced, examining the structure of a muscle down to its microscopic force-generating motors. Drawing on their deep expertise, the authors describe how to create simulations that provide insight into muscle coordination during walking and running, suggest treatments to improve function following injury, and help design devices that enhance human performance. Throughout, the book emphasizes established principles that provide a foundation for understanding movement. It also describes innovations in computer simulation, mobile motion monitoring, wearable robotics, and other technologies that build on these fundamentals. The book is suitable for use as a textbook by students and researchers studying human and animal movement. It is equally valuable for clinicians, roboticists, engineers, sports scientists, designers, computer scientists, and others who want to understand the biomechanics of movement. Review: Absolute recommendation - The book intends to give an introduction into the field of biomechanics. It perfectly achieves this goal through precise explanations, descriptions and awesome illustrations. It does not intend to delve into great detail, which makes reading it a lot easier. 5 stars, no question. Review: A Landmark Publication - 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! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #529,836 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #49 in Biomedical Engineering #50 in Medical Engineering #175 in Machinery | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 48 Reviews | ## Images ![Biomechanics of Movement: The Science of Sports, Robotics, and Rehabilitation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711QFv1fybL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute recommendation *by T***S on 20 July 2022* The book intends to give an introduction into the field of biomechanics.
