Human Orthopaedic Biomechanics: Fundamentals, Devices and Applications

Human Orthopaedic Biomechanics is a handbook covering a wide range of biomechanical topics and fields; ranging from theoretical issues, mechanobiology, design of implants, joint biomechanics, regulatory issues to practical applications. This book teaches the fundamentals of physiological loading and constraint conditions at various parts of the musculoskeletal system. This book is ideal for teaching and education in courses on orthopeadic biomechanics, and for engineering students engaged in these courses. Also, all bioengineers who have an interest in orthopeadic biomechanics will find this title useful as a reference; particularly early career researchers and industry professionals. Finally, any orthopeadic surgeons looking to deepen their knowledge of biomechanical aspects will benefit from the accessible writing style in this title.
