This book comprises from theoretical contributions in Biomechanics often providing hypothesis, reasoning or rationale for a given phenomenon that experiment or clinical study cannot provide.
The book focuses on theoretical aspects of biomechanics research, and tries to evoke and trigger the needed discussion over those quite different approaches being used and hopefully to bring more understanding for them. It also offers an overview of methods available from quite different perspectives, and hopefully will find a wide audience from all above mentioned expertises.
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.
The last section called Locomotion and joint biomechanics is a collection of works on description and analysis of human locomotion, joint stability and acting forces.
