Description: "This book clearly explains musculoskeletal biomechanics and their relevance to clinical practice - without relying on complex mathematics. Abundantly illustrated discussions clarify everything from motions and loads to vibrations, joint friction, wear, and lubrication." "Each biomechanical principle is presented in a consistent and logical format. And abundant clinical and non-clinical examples make these concepts simple to understand." "When it comes to the management of musculoskeletal disorders, a solid knowledge of fundamental biomechnics is essential. Biomechanics in the Musculoskeletal System enables you to understand these principles...without the math. It's an ideal resource for orthopedic residents and surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, and physiatrists, as well as others who deal with orthopedic conditions on a daily basis."--BOOK JACKET.
