Description|Table of Contents|Author|Ancillaries|Excerpts|Sample Content|The mechanical aspects of injury and the concept of injury as a stimulus for beneficial tissue adaptations|The effects of injury on the normal function of the human anatomy and joint mechanics|Mechanical parameters such as force stress and strain stiffness and elasticity and their application to tissue mechanics and injury|How connective tissues respond to mechanical loading and how those tissues are studied to quantify their mechanical behavior|Factors such as age gender nutrition and exercise with an emphasis on how lifestyle choices might lessen the chance or severity of injury|How the principles of mechanical load and overload use and overuse level and progression of injury and the many contributory factors involved in injury combine to form a backdrop for viewing specific injuries
