This book focuses on experimental
praxis and clinical findings. The first section is devoted to Injury and
clinical biomechanics including overview of the biomechanics of musculoskeletal
injury, distraction osteogenesis in mandible, or consequences of drilling. The
next section is on Spine biomechanics with biomechanical models for upper limb
after spinal cord injury and an animal model looking at changes occurring as a
consequence of spinal cord injury. Section Musculoskeletal Biomechanics includes
the chapter which is devoted to dynamical stability of lumbo-pelvi-femoral
complex which involves analysis of relationship among appropriate anatomical
structures in this region. The fourth section is on Human and Animal
Biomechanics with contributions from foot biomechanics and chewing rhythms in
mammals, or adaptations of bats.
The first section of the book, General
notes on biomechanics and mechanobiology, comprises from theoretical
contributions to Biomechanics often providing hypothesis or rationale for a
given phenomenon that experiment or clinical study cannot provide. It deals with
mechanical properties of living cells and tissues, mechanobiology of fracture
healing or evolution of locomotor trends in extinct terrestrial giants. The
second section, Biomechanical modelling, is devoted to the rapidly growing field
of biomechanical models and modelling approaches to improve our understanding
about processes in human body.
This is a landmark
book because it shows the usefulness and importance of mechanics in the analysis
and understanding of animal behavior. As such it should be of interest and use
to individuals working in biomechanics as well as to the vertebrate zoologist
and comparative anatomist.
This
note covers the following topics: Skeletal Muscle Properties, Muscles Involved
in Movements, Detection of SEMG signal, The SEMG Signal and Connecting the Sensors
to the Encoder.
