## Overview

Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, is a comprehensive, visually rich guide that demystifies the mechanical principles behind injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system and beyond. Featuring contributions from leading experts, it integrates the latest research on tissue mechanics, injury mechanisms, and lifestyle factors, making it an essential resource for students and health professionals aiming to reduce injury risk and improve patient outcomes.

## Description

Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, explains the biomechanical principles of injury and how injuries affect the normal function of human anatomy. With a clear, accessible writing style and nearly 400 full-color photos and anatomy illustrations, it guides readers through the mechanical concepts of injuries without a heavy emphasis on mathematics. Previously titled Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury , this third edition expands coverage of injuries beyond those of the musculoskeletal system to include the head, neck, and spine. Joining noted biomechanists Ronald Zernicke and William Whiting is concussion expert and athletic trainer Steven Broglio, who offers insights on head trauma and other neurological injuries. Unique in its evaluation of and appreciation for the intricacies of injury mechanisms, Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, comprehensively examines these issues: The mechanical aspects of injury and the concept of injury as a stimulus for beneficial tissue adaptations The effects of injury on the normal function of the human anatomy and joint mechanics Mechanical parameters such as force, stress and strain, stiffness, and elasticity and their application to tissue mechanics and injury How connective tissues respond to mechanical loading and how those tissues are studied to quantify their mechanical behavior Factors such as age, gender, nutrition, and exercise, with an emphasis on how lifestyle choices might lessen the chance or severity of injury How the principles of mechanical load and overload, use and overuse, level and progression of injury, and the many contributory factors involved in injury combine to form a backdrop for viewing specific injuries Updated sidebars present a detailed analysis of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, rotator cuff pathologies, and concussion. In addition, the text discusses topics of current concern such as falls in older populations, throwing-related rotator cuff pathologies, and youth injuries from carrying backpacks. Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, also employs learning aids to help readers understand and retain information. Objectives at the start of each chapter highlight the main concepts. Key terms appear in bold in the text and are defined in the glossary. Key Points at the end of each chapter summarize central concepts. Questions to Consider appear at the end of each chapter to test readers’ understanding and ability to apply the information presented. Updated Suggested Readings are included at the end of each chapter for readers who wish to dive deeper into selected topics. Knowledge of the biological responses of tissues to mechanical loading improves our understanding of injury and its consequences. Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, will enable students and health professionals to reduce the likelihood that clients, patients, or athletes will experience painful and debilitating physical injury.

Review: Makes biomechanics easy to understand - The authors have done a great job of explaining the concepts with figures and words. They are clearly experienced in teaching biomechanics--so they make complex concepts easy to understand. They show the clinical application of biomechanics--why does tissue fail, what underpins common conditions (such as pitcher's elbow, etc.). Concise. Terrific value for money.
