| Summary: |
Neuromechanics of Human Movement, Fifth Edition, draws on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics to explore how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles to produce human motion. This contemporary approach is much different from the traditional approach, which focuses soley on mechanics and does not consider the role of the sensorimotor system in the control of human movement. The text includes 70 practical learning examples, giving students opportunities to work through a variety of problems and explore research and applications. Content is visually reinforced with 320 figures, including specific illustrations of the neuromechanics involved in sport and rehabilitation movements. Significant content updates in this fifth edition present relevant information for both research and clinical environments. -- from back cover. |
