Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An extensive text that provides clinicians, researchers, product developers and students with detailed information on the core principles that underpin human locomotion. It is a heavy volume - both in weight and content - but full of valuable information... The critical writing, based on research evidence, is moderately easy to read, with an understanding of science essential to comprehend the arguments... There are detailed explanations of mechanics focusing, of course, on motion. Equally the inclusion of material stress, strain and properties will give anyone an extensive understanding of topics, from the behaviour of human collagen to manufacturing polyethylene." --Dr. Helen Branthwaite, The Podiatrist
