“…Concepts covered in the book include:
* Biomechanical signal processing, anthropometry, kinematics and kinetics, muscle mechanics, and kinesiological electromyography
* Forward
simulations and muscle-actuated
simulations, static and dynamic balance, and the role of the central nervous system in biomechanics
* Movement sequencing and the kinetic chain concept, electromagnetic systems, inertial sensors, clinical measures of kinematics, and the advantages and disadvantages of different types of force plates
* Markerset design and event detection for gait and athletic motions like jumping, landing, and pitching
* Guidance on setting up a motion lab and access to online Excel spreadsheets with kinematic and kinetic marker data
By providing a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge, Winter's Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement will appeal to biomedical
engineers working in the field of biomechanics and allied professionals in the medical, rehabilitation, and sports industries. …”
