About this title

Synopsis

Research Methods in Biomechanics explains how to collect, analyse and interpret various forms of biomechanical data. It covers an extensive range of topics in biomechanics, including inverse dynamics, dynamometry, electromyography, modelling and simulation. The text shows how the laws of motion are applied to complex human movements, including body segment analysis.

About the Author

Gordon E. Robertson Ph.D currently works as Professor of Biomechanics in the School of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa in Canada. He is an active member of the Canadian Society for Biomechanics and the International Society of Biomechanics. Joseph Hamill Ph.D is currently a Professor and Chair of the Department of Exercise Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is a Fellow of the Research Consortium of AAHPERD, the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Graham Caldwell Ph.D is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Exercise Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His current focus of research is to examine the mechanical characteristics of skeletal muscle in co-ordination of motion patterns. Gary Kamen Ph.D is a Professor in the Department of Exercise Science at the University of Massachusetts. He has published numerous academic articles, journal abstracts and co-authored two books. He specialises in motor control and his current research interests concern the ability of the neuromuscular system to adapt to changing conditions. Sandy Whittlesey Ph.D is currently a Graduate research and teaching assistant in the Department of Exercise Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
