Foundations of Biomechanics: A Comprehensive Guide to Measuring, Modeling, and Analyzing Human Movement Using Kinematics, Kinetics, Electromyography, and Computational Simulation covers the full scope of modern biomechanics — from fundamental principles of motion and force through advanced musculoskeletal modeling — in a single, structured volume designed for both academic learning and clinical application.
The text builds your understanding systematically. Core concepts in kinematics and kinetics establish the framework for describing and quantifying motion, while dedicated coverage of electromyography bridges muscle physiology with signal acquisition, processing, and interpretation. Computational simulation methods then extend these principles into predictive modeling, equipping you to analyze movement patterns that direct observation alone cannot fully capture. Every concept connects to practical measurement methodology, real-world data interpretation, and applied research or clinical reasoning.
What distinguishes Foundations of Biomechanics from both encyclopedic references and condensed summaries is its integration of theory, instrumentation, and applied analysis — supported by more than 100 teaching and demonstration videos accessible through integrated QR codes that bring measurement techniques and analytical methods to life beyond the printed page, and by clinical images and illustrations throughout the text that reinforce complex biomechanical principles visually.
Inside this volume:
- Kinematics — Joint angles, angular velocity, coordinate systems, and motion capture methods for describing movement
- Kinetics — Ground reaction forces, joint moments, inverse dynamics, and force measurement technologies
- Electromyography — EMG signal acquisition, processing, normalization, and interpretation for muscle function analysis
- Computational Simulation — Musculoskeletal modeling, forward and inverse simulations, and predictive analysis
- Gait and Locomotion Analysis — Applied methods for clinical and research assessment of movement
- Measurement Technologies — Force plates, motion capture systems, EMG instrumentation, and data acquisition
- 100+ integrated QR-code videos demonstrating techniques, procedures, and simulation workflows
- Clinical images and illustrations throughout every section for visual reinforcement
Designed for physical therapy and rehabilitation students, kinesiology and exercise science students, biomedical engineering students, sports medicine professionals, orthopedic clinicians, and researchers seeking a current, evidence-based biomechanics reference.
From first principles to computational modeling — build your biomechanics foundation. Get your copy today.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
