Editorial Review:
Biomechanics applies the principles and rigor of engineering to the mechanical properties of living systems. This book integrates the classic fields of mechanics--statics, dynamics, and strength of materials--using examples from biology and medicine. Fundamentals of Biomechanics is excellent for teaching either undergraduates in biomedical engineering programs or health care professionals studying biomechanics at the graduate level. Extensively revised from a successful first edition, the book features a wealth of clear illustrations, numerous worked examples, and many problem sets. The book provides the quantitative perspective missing from more descriptive texts, without requiring an advanced background in mathematics. It will be welcomed for use in courses such as biomechanics and orthopedics, rehabilitation and industrial engineering, and occupational or sports medicine.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Best overview of biomechanics, period.
This textbook provides a very comprehensive exploration of the basic fundamentals of biomechanics. It is an excellent overview of force vector, moment and torque, statics, deformable body mechanics, stress and strain, dynamics, kinetics, kinematics, and impulse and momentum. It even provides a review of the mathematics required for understanding the many concepts introduced in the book. Each chapter has examples of the principles introduced and practice exercises. As a biomechanist, I own many textbooks ... Read More
Rating: - An easy read
This book is very helpful. It is an easy read and fully explains the principles and ideas the book is trying to convey. I highly recommend purchasing it.
Rating:  - sufficient book
This book is to the point, easy to understand and a good addition to a library for anyone interested in biomechanics. It is simple without becoming too simple and the examples are well thought out.
