Applied Biomedical Engineering Mechanics 1st Edition

Presenting the latest innovations, this text highlights advances in tissue, musculoskeletal, locomotive, orthopedic, occupational, ergonomic, sports, cardiovascular, cardiac, and pulmonary biomechanics. Based on years of teaching experience, the author uses illustrative examples and detailed explanations to show how mechanics disciplines can be applied to a wide range of clinical applications, including the analysis of physiological and organ-system processes; the creation of physiologically compatible organ-assist systems and devices; the performance of pre-surgical analysis in order to develop optimal surgical approaches; and the design of vehicle-occupant systems for occupant comfort.
