Biomechanics

Biomechanics is an interdisciplinary area where the knowledge and methods of mechanics are applied to the structure and function of the living human system. It integrates biological systems by means of mechanical principles for the improvement of performance, and the prevention and alleviation of injury by qualitative and quantitative analysis.

The aim of this book is to disseminate recent developments in the field of biomechanical sciences to students, researchers, teachers, sports scientists, physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons. The book will also help generate a dedicated team of researchers and teachers in biomechanics to enhance progress.

Forty-six articles reflecting almost all areas of biomechanical sciences by eminent scientists and experts on Biomechanics are presented. It will also pave way for the young scientists for future research developing improved methodologies.
