In the first book of its kind, noted biomechanists William Whiting and Ronald Zernicke explore the mechanical bases of musculoskeletal injury to better understand causal mechanisms, the effect of injury on musculoskeletal tissues, and how our current knowledge of biomechanics can contribute to injury prevention.
Never before has the broad spectrum of injury mechanics been covered so completely in a single book. From introductory biomechanics to detailed examinations of the mechanical aspects of common injuries, Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury provides a solid foundation for in-depth study.
The book includes comprehensive information on -the basic biomechanical concepts of force, stress and strain, stiffness, and elasticity; -the mechanics of joints that are subject to disabling injury; -the structure of connective tissues bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments , which are most often involved in musculoskeletal injuries; and -factors such as age, gender, nutrition, and exercise, which affect the musculoskeletal system's response to force.
After providing the reader with a fundamental understanding of tissue structure and function, the authors then proceed with detailed explorations of the mechanisms of common injuries, including -inversion ankle sprains, stress fractures, and other lower-extremity injuries; -rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other injuries to the upper extremities; and -concussions, intervertebral disc injuries, and other injuries that afflict the head, neck, and trunk.
Packed with more than drawings, photos, and tables, Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury is both visually compelling and indispensable as a reference on injury mechanisms. Read more Read less. Review """"The style and format of the book is excellent. It is easily read with ample illustrations. Chaffin, PhD Director, Center for Ergonomics The University of Michigan """Finally, an authoritative text that provides a scientific foundation for understanding the mechanisms of musculoskeletal injury.
Knowledge of this information is essential for several professional groups, including those interested in the biomedical aspects of injury mechanisms, those concerned with injury prevention, and those involved in facilitating recovery from injury.
For individuals with these interests, this text is required reading. Enoka Professor University of Colorado at Boulder " ""Injury occurs from mechanical overload of tissue. This simple tenet is often overlooked by those responsible for injury prevention and rehabilitation of those already injured. This fine textbook fills the current need for a resource that synthesizes the links between tissue properties, skeletal architecture, applied loads and injury.
While general principles of tissue biomechanics and injury mechanisms are described, special areas of expertise of the authors shine, particularly those of loading and adaption, and injuries specific to areas of the body. The material is well organized into chapters that emphasize ""concluding comments"" and contain functional and usable information for scientific and clinical students alike.
Professors Whiting and Zernicke are to be thanked for filling the need and to be congratulated for filling it so well. McGill, Ph. Professor of Biomechanics, University of Waterloo". William C.
He has taught courses in biomechanics for more than 10 years, and has published 25 articles and 20 research abstracts. Whiting currently serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, and he has served as a reviewer for a number of other scholarly journals. Whiting has coached basketball and volleyball at the interscholastic and intercollegiate levels for 20 years and received a basketball Coach of the Year award in from the Southern California Community Newspapers.
Whiting enjoys reading, camping, and hiking. He lives in Glendale, California. Ronald F. Zernicke, PhD, has taught courses in biomechanics and injury mechanisms at the university level for more than 25 years. He is the Wood Professor for Joint Injury Research at the University of Calgary, where he holds appointments in the departments of surgery division of orthopaedics , mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and kinesiology.
Zernicke has published more than research papers, research abstracts, and one other book. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, a charter member and former president of the International Society of Biomechanics, and a member and former president of the American Society of Biomechanics. In his leisure time he enjoys reading, hiking, and cross-country skiing. No customer reviews. How does Amazon calculate star ratings? Amazon calculates a product's star ratings using a machine learned model instead of a raw data average.
The machine learned model takes into account factors including: the age of a review, helpfulness votes by customers and whether the reviews are from verified purchases.
Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. November 20, - Published on Amazon. Verified Purchase. A better title for the book would be "Medical Terminology of Musculoskeletal Injury". The authors of this book seem to be more concerned with what things are called than understanding biomechanics.
Many of the human body parts are studied separately without consideration of the movement patterns that lead to injury. The book is full of important terms, equations, and other sterile information implying credibility but lacks insight. I don't believe this is a good resource for people interested in understanding biomechanics and how they relate to injury as the description states.
September 2, - Published on Amazon. Honestly, it's not what I expected: overview chapters on the biology of tissues and basic concept of mechanics represent a good bases for the understading of injury mechanics. However, the biomechanical description of the mechanism of injury is qualitative. Some very good hints. For the rest, the term "biomechanics" is overstated.
The presence of "case study" paragraphs derived from the scientific literature are wellcome. As the latest available edition dates , the book is a little bit obsolete now as the scientific literature has clarified many concepts about injury mechanism in 10 years.
Nevertheless, it is still a very good textbook for sports science degrees. March 31, - Published on Amazon. This is a great text. I read the first edition cover-to-cover in grad school, and am now working my way through this second edition. Covering the topic completely takes the length of a career, but they've done about as good an overview as one could expect in pages. Very appropriate for any health professional, trainers, or anyone else dealing with musculoskeletal issues of any sort.
