New Unique Text Book and Online Course on Clinical Biomechanics

Over the years many clinicians have commented about the increase in the need for what is described as Evidence Based Practice or Evidenced Based Medicine. The two main problems in physical therapy are: the reproducibility of measurements of effectiveness and the clinical relevance of the measures made. So the questions that need to be asked of biomechanics are: Can biomechanics offer new and sensitive measures of assessment? Can biomechanics assess the effectiveness of different treatments? Can biomechanics offer immediate, informed, and direct feedback to clinical practice?

"Biomechanics in Clinic and Research" is a unique resource, which combines an exceptional full online course (www.biomechanicsonline.com) with a practical and accessible book to deal with these questions. The online course is thoroughly integrated with the text and the many high-quality animations, interactive tests and clear explanations will enable you to gain a confident understanding of the clinical aspects of biomechanics. Written by Professor Jim Richards of the University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK, "Biomechanics in Clinic and Research" presents the latest research in a form which is accessible, practical, thorough and up-to-the minute.

Biomechanics in Clinic and Research covers the concepts and theory necessary to understand the nature of biomechanical measurements, and the methods available to collect, analyze, and interpret biomechanical data in a clinically meaningful way. This includes: the mathematical and mechanical concepts necessary for the understanding of the muculoskeletal system and the interpretation of biomechanical measurements, the variety of methods available for biomechanical measurement. The book also includes many case studies of how direct and indirect orthotic management may offer conservative treatment strategies of musculoskeletal and neurological pathologies.

“This textbook will be an invaluable resource to clinicians, researchers and students with an interest in clinical biomechanics and should be recommended as core material.”

“There are many textbooks on biomechanics, but few do as much justice to the fundamental issues of data quality assurance, and data presentation as this text does.”
