Reviews
The author does an excellent job of outlining the basic principles of biomechanics. This well-written book fulfills its objectives. It is written at an appropriate level for its intended audience while still providing ample scientifically-based information for readers to grasp the basic principles of biomechanics. It is successful in accentuating the key points of biomechanics while filtering out more advanced theory that is unnecessary for this audience. <br><br>-- Erik H.

VanIterson, MS, MBio, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Doody Enterprises, Inc Given the intricacy and complexity of biomechanics in relation to human motion, I find that this book is simple and clearly written in a very skilful and concise manner. I would greatly recommend it for teaching purposes and for further reading at an advanced level. -Maria Stein, The British Journal of Occupational Therapy
