Biomechanics The basics
This note explains how to measure the human anthropometry and the main kinematical parameters like position, velocity, acceleration, angle, etc. It also explains how to use dynamical variables like momentum, energy, torque, etc. and about the force generation in the muscles, the energy transfer from the muscles to peripheral body parts and the environment.

This book focuses on experimental praxis and clinical findings. The first section is devoted to Injury and clinical biomechanics including overview of the biomechanics of musculoskeletal injury, distraction osteogenesis in mandible, or consequences of drilling. The next section is on Spine biomechanics with biomechanical models for upper limb after spinal cord injury and an animal model looking at changes occurring as a consequence of spinal cord injury. Section Musculoskeletal Biomechanics includes the chapter which is devoted to dynamical stability of lumbo-pelvi-femoral complex which involves analysis of relationship among appropriate anatomical structures in this region. The fourth section is on Human and Animal Biomechanics with contributions from foot biomechanics and chewing rhythms in mammals, or adaptations of bats.

Introduction to the Biomechanics of Human Movement
This note introduce the scientific principles and laws underlying the field of biomechanics and describes how biomechanical principles can be applied to understanding and analyzing the causes of human movements and their affects on the body. Topics covered includes: Statics, Gravity and Forces, Levers and Moments of Force, Dry Friction, Kinematics, Kinetics, Impulse and Momentum, Work, Energy and Power, Fluid Mechanics, Gait Analysis.

The first section of the book, General notes on biomechanics and mechanobiology, comprises from theoretical contributions to Biomechanics often providing hypothesis or rationale for a given phenomenon that experiment or clinical study cannot provide. It deals with mechanical properties of living cells and tissues, mechanobiology of fracture healing or evolution of locomotor trends in extinct terrestrial giants. The second section, Biomechanical modelling, is devoted to the rapidly growing field of biomechanical models and modelling approaches to improve our understanding about processes in human body.

Biomechanics an approach to vertebrate biology
This is a landmark book because it shows the usefulness and importance of mechanics in the analysis and understanding of animal behavior. As such it should be of interest and use to individuals working in biomechanics as well as to the vertebrate zoologist and comparative anatomist.
