Biomechanics (häftad, eng)

Each new print copy includes the Navigate Companion Website which includes a variety of learning tools.

The Second Edition of Biomechanics: A Case-Based Approach emphasizes the comprehension, retention, and application of the core concepts of biomechanics through the use of problem-based learning strategies.

The author utilizes a student-centered approach by deploying a conversational writing style, tying new concepts to everyday experience, and emphasizing concepts over computationA wide variety of pedagogical features aid this approach, with Section Questions, Competency Checks, and various boxed features serving to reinforce the content.

Biomechanics: A Case-Based Approach is organized into 18 lessons that cover the three levels of biomechanical analysis: whole body, joint, and tissueRather than moving from one level to the next, the author deploys a "whole-part-whole" organization in which mechanical principles are described at the whole-body level, followed by relevant discussion of the basic material mechanics of biological tissues and unique properties of the muscle-tendon complex.

Key Features:

-NEW - Process Boxes illustrate the link between inputs and outputs, providing a visual depiction of the underlying mechanics.
-NEW – Nine detailed case studies have been added throughout the text, with a summary of all nine cases presented in the final lesson.
-EXPANDED – The use of vector diagrams has been greatly expanded in the Second Edition to help students better visualize key material.
-KEY - Section Questions open each major section and present salient questions addressing the focus of the section.
-KEY – Competency Checks ask students conceptual and quantitative questions to assist in gauging their understanding of the material.
-KEY - Essential Math boxes provide a review of mathematical concepts.
-KEY – Applied Research boxes provide examples that are helpful in illustrating biomechanical concepts and present evidence of the practical value of biomechanics.
