Computational Biomechanics Of The Musculoskeletal System (Hb 2015) Hardcover

Computational Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System explores the growing field of computational biomechanics, aiming to better understand the mechanical behavior of healthy and diseased human joints to advance orthopedic treatment and rehabilitation strategies. This book compiles the latest research and innovative techniques used in the field, with a strong emphasis on applications in orthopedics and rehabilitation engineering. Focusing particularly on finite element analysis, it highlights the role of computational modeling in biomechanical simulations and medical research. The content is organized by anatomical regions—including the foot and ankle, knee, hip, spine, and cranial structures—offering a detailed overview in each chapter. Topics include the clinical or scientific problems being addressed, anatomical context, development and methodology of computational models, validation through experimental studies, and practical clinical applications. Rich in biomechanical insights, this volume is especially useful for designing supportive medical devices and prosthetic implants. It serves as a valuable reference for bioengineering students and early-career researchers, as well as clinicians working in orthopedics and rehabilitation who seek practical and research-based knowledge relevant to their field.Computational Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System explores the growing field of computational biomechanics, aiming to better understand the mechanical behavior of healthy and diseased human joints to advance orthopedic treatment and rehabilitation strategies.
