Overview of
Basic Biomechanics for the Pre-Clinician and Practitioners

Biomechanics is a field that utilizes physics and anatomical principles to identify movement processes with our day to day interactions. Even simple movements require a carefully coordinated application of physical laws and anatomical structures. Comprehension of these principles and structures allow us to fully appreciate the intricacy of human movement. This book was written to help students see the applications of biomechanics. It is not only designed to present the critical foundational information, but then tie that information to practical applications within biomechanics.
A key component in Intellectual development and progression is reflected in how an instructor provides information to their students. An instructor must use personalized pedagogical methods to allow their student to connect and get excited about biomechanics. Therefore, this book is designed so that the instructor can structure the class their way. The text is adaptable and allows the instructor to present the chapters in the order that is most aligned with the flow of their course.
Overall, this will book serve as a consistent and fundamental reference for students. The content is written in a manner that makes scientific principles both enjoyable and intellectually palatable. Upon course completion, students will be able to integrate the biomechanical principles, anatomical structures and your critical thinking skills to their academic and career paths.
