From Book News, Inc.
Explores the mechanical bases of musculoskeletal injury to understand better the causal mechanisms, the effect of injury on tissues, and how the current knowledge of biomechanics can help prevent injury. Reviews such basics as the concepts of force, stress, stiffness, and elasticity and the mechanics of joints that are subject to disable injury. Then offers details of such injuries as inversion ankle sprains, stress fractures, rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, concussion, and intervertebral disc injuries. Highly illustrated, mostly with line drawings. The volume is 11.5<"> high. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Review of Biomechanics of Musculosketal InjuryThe authors Whiting and Zernicke are to be congratulated for this high-quality reference book. As someone who testifies often in civil litigation cases regarding the physical mechanics of motor vehicle and premises accidents and the associated mechanisms of human injury, I found this book to be a superb addition to my technical library. For the uninitiated in injury mechanics, it begins impressively with a low-gear, historical, and introductory manner, and takes the reader though many basic mechanical concepts. The book then covers a wide assortment of human injuries and their causal mechanisms. I observed that the book is very well-formated with titles, sub-titles, text, add-in framed articles, effective anatomical line drawings, and illustrative photographs. While the book is technical in nature, I noted that it was written to be appreciated by those outside the technical area of injury biomechanics. I readily recommend this book to anyone interested in the mechanisms of human injury.Best Biomechanics book for PT'sWell written and very through. Great combination of Gross Anatomy, Orthopedics and Biomechanics. |
