Kinematics
of Human Motion is the first major text on the kinematics
of human motion and is written by one of the world's leading
authorities on the subject.
Kinematics
of Human Motion begins with careful descriptions of how to
study human body position and displacement without regard
to time, velocity, or acceleration. Then Dr. Zatsiorsky examines
differential kinematics of human motion by "adding"
the variables of velocity and acceleration in simple and complex
biokinematic chains and by adding the variable of three-dimensional
movement to the study of multilink chains. The book includes
the three-dimensional analysis of 26 specific human joints,
from the temporomandibular joint to the joints of the midfoot.
While
the Kinematics of Human Motion is advanced and assumes a knowledge
of calculus and matrix algebra, the emphasis is on explaining
movement concepts, not mathematical formulae. The text features
23 refreshers of the basic concepts and many practical examples.
The book is well illustrated and clearly written as the author
skillfully integrates mechanical models with biological experiments.
The
foremost biomechanist of the former Soviet Union, and a professor
at The Pennsylvania State University since 1991, Vladimir
Zatsiorsky shares his 35 years of research and teaching in
biomechanics in what may well be the most important biomechanics
book of the 1990s.
