Biomechanics of Injury
by William C. Whiting, Ronald F. Zernicke, Steven P. Broglio
Biomechanics of Injury presents a mechanical perspective on injury, tissue adaptation, and human movement. It covers joint mechanics, connective-tissue loading, force, stress, strain, stiffness, and elasticity, while examining how age, gender, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices may influence injury risk and severity.
About This Book
Biomechanics of Injury examines the mechanical aspects of injury and considers injury as a stimulus for beneficial tissue adaptations.
It explores how injury affects normal human anatomy and joint mechanics, including the roles of force, stress, strain, stiffness, and elasticity.
The book explains how connective tissues respond to mechanical loading and how their behavior can be studied and quantified.
Age, gender, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices are considered alongside principles of load, overload, use, overuse, and injury progression.
