Theory and Concepts of Biomechanics

In the past few years, there has been an increasing awareness that issues emerging from biology or medicine require an interdisciplinary approach. Hence, certain forms of mathematics and applied physics have arisen; like biomechanics, mathematical biology and mechanobiology among others. This book discusses some general topics regarding biomechanics and mechanobiology, inclusive of theoretical contributions which provide explanations for certain aspects that experiments or clinical studies are unable to do. The book also discusses biomechanical modeling, a speedily growing field of biomechanical models and modeling methods utilized to increase the comprehension of various procedures occurring in the human body. Finally, this book also considers locomotion and joint biomechanics, which describe and analyze human movement, and the stability of the joints.
