Analytical Biomechanics. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 172
In last century many engineers and scientist applied
principal of mathematical theories to biological
subjects and thus evolved new fields like
biomechanics. A human biomechanical model which can
mimic diverse 3D physiological movements is a
challenging task. Hundreds of researchers obtained
experimental data to study and analyze human
movements. On the other hand, there are few
researchers who provided analytical models for
biological movements. This book provides new
analytical modeling schemes to biomechanical
movements, physiological motor control and combined
musculoskeletal models with neurophysiologic
controller to emulate muscle commands and joint
torques. This book discusses the details of optimal
controls with physiological cost functions to analyze
the human sit-to-stand task for healthy and stroke
patients. The biomechanical framework uses Maple and
Matlab environments for modeling, control and
simulation purposes. Major part of this work is
peer-reviewed, and holds great potential to study
task specific applications in kinesiology,
ergonomics, and rehabilitation robotics, biomedical
engineering and experimental validation of human
voluntary movements.
