Discover the Ultimate Guide to Human Movement Analysis
This comprehensive book delves into the instruments, methodologies, and diagnostic methods utilized to evaluate and diagnose human movement, locomotion, and overall physical status. Perfect for professionals and students in fields such as biomechanics, biomedical engineering, and kinesiology, this resource offers invaluable insights into the latest advancements in movement analysis.
Beginning with a historical perspective, the book explores the evolution of understanding human locomotion through the application of technical measurement devices. It introduces the concept of inverse dynamics, which serves as an umbrella concept for evaluating body movement. Key components of measurement systems are detailed, including relevant signal and data processing methods. You will learn about modern instruments that capture body movement by measuring:
- Kinematics – the motion of the body
- Kinetics – the forces that cause movement
- Surface Electromyography (sEMG) – the electrical activity of muscles
