Includes index and appendix

Master the full continuum of human movement potential with this rigorous yet approachable introduction to biomechanics. Focusing on the quantitative nature of biomechanics, Biomechanical Basis of Movement, Fifth Edition applies laws of motion and mechanics to in-depth analysis of specific movements, integrating current literature, meaningful numerical examples, relevant applications, hands-on exercises, and functional anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology for a confident, comprehensive understanding of human movement. Updated content reflects the latest perspectives on functional anatomy and highlights the clinical relevance of biomechanics for successful Allied Health practice. Updated, extensively revised illustrations clarify anatomical structures and movements in full color. New animations available within the VitalSourceŽ eBook and on thePoint reinforce functional anatomy and mechanical motion concepts with vibrant detail. New problem calculators built into the VitalSourceŽ eBook provide essential practice using different formulas to answer questions. Chapter objectives, outlines, and summaries focus your attention on essential concepts and reinforce key takeaways. Review questions at the end of each chapter test your comprehension and challenge you to apply concepts in a clinical context.
