Description and Table of Contents

Description

Research Methods in Biomechanics explains how to collect, analyse and interpret various forms of biomechanical data. It covers an extensive range of topics in biomechanics, including inverse dynamics, dynamometry, electromyography, modelling and simulation. The text shows how the laws of motion are applied to complex human movements, including body segment analysis.
