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.

Molecular, Cellular and Tissue Biomechanics
This course develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of continuum mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a range of length scales. This lecture note explains the following topics: structure of tissues and the molecular basis for macroscopic properties, chemical and electrical effects on mechanical behavior, cell mechanics, motility and adhesion, biomembranes, biomolecular mechanics and molecular motors. Experimental methods for probing structures at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels will also be investigated.

Biomechanics an approach to vertebrate biology
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.
