The classic book on human movement in biomechanics, newly
updated
updated
Widely used and referenced, David Winter?s Biomechanics
and Motor Control of Human Movement is a classic examination of
techniques used to measure and analyze all body movements as
mechanical systems, including such everyday movements as walking.
It fills the gap in human movement science area where modern
science and technology are integrated with anatomy, muscle
physiology, and electromyography to assess and understand human
movement.
In light of the explosive growth of the field, this new edition
updates and enhances the text with:
- Expanded coverage of 3D kinematics and kinetics
- New materials on biomechanical movement synergies and signal
processing, including auto and cross correlation, frequency
analysis, analog and digital filtering, and ensemble averaging
techniques - Presentation of a wide spectrum of measurement and analysis
techniques - Updates to all existing chapters
- Basic physical and physiological principles in capsule form for
quick reference
An essential resource for researchers and student in
kinesiology, bioengineering (rehabilitation engineering), physical
education, ergonomics, and physical and occupational therapy, this
text will also provide valuable to professionals in orthopedics,
muscle physiology, and rehabilitation medicine. In response to many
requests, the extensive numerical tables contained in Appendix A:
"Kinematic, Kinetic, and Energy Data" can also be found at the
