Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement, 4th Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Oct 2009, Pages: 384
The classic book on human movement in biomechanics, newly updated
Widely used and referenced, David Winter’s Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement is a classic examination of techniques used to measure and analyze all body movements as mechanical systems, including such everyday movements as walking. It fills the gap in human movement science area where modern science and technology are integrated with anatomy, muscle physiology, and electromyography to assess and understand human movement.
In light of the explosive growth of the field, this new edition updates and enhances the text with:
- Expanded coverage of 3D kinematics and kinetics
- New materials on biomechanical movement synergies and signal processing, including auto and cross correlation, frequency analysis, analog and digital - filtering, and ensemble averaging techniques
- Presentation of a wide spectrum of measurement and analysis techniques
- Updates to all existing chapters
- Basic physical and physiological principles in capsule form for quick reference
An essential resource for researchers and student in kinesiology, bioengineering (rehabilitation engineering), physical education, ergonomics, and physical and occupational therapy, this text will also provide valuable to professionals in orthopedics, muscle physiology, and rehabilitation medicine.
David Winter's book was one of the first books published in the area of biomechanics with a focus on human movement. The first edition was published in 1979, the second edition followed in 1990. The last edition published in 2002 is widely used and referenced. Over time the book has become a classic and Winters has become somewhat of a guru on the subject. Over the last decade the subject of biomechanics has exploded with more interest than ever being focused on the subject. In this proposed update, new material will be added to the coverage of 3D kinematics and kinetics, new material will be added on signal processing, and updates to all existing chapters will cover the changes that have occurred since the last edition published.
