Biomechanics of Movement

The authors present simple conceptual models to study walking and running and apply mechanical principles to a range of interesting examples. This engaging and generously illustrated book answers these questions by examining human and animal movement through the lens of mechanics. They explore the biology of how movement is produced, examining the structure of a muscle down to its microscopic force-generating motors.
Drawing on their deep expertise, the authors describe how to create simulations that provide insight into muscle coordination during walking and running, suggest treatments to improve function following injury, and help
