內容簡介top Biomechanics of the Upper Limbs 簡介 There is already a wealth of literature covering cumulative trauma disorders and medical management, as well as the biomechanics of manual material handling and lower back problems. However, despite a spike in the number of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) in the upper limbsue to a sharp increase in the amount of computer-related jobsew if any books have focused exclusively on WRMSDs, until now.Biomechanics of the Upper Limbs: Mechanics, Modeling and Musculoskeletal Injuries, Second Edition offers vital information and tools to improve analysis of external forces and their effects on the human body. This can help ergonomists better understand job stressors and the role they play in the development of disorders, enabling them to modify the work environment and educate practitioners to better control harmful situations.Using the author medical and engineering expertise to distill essential subject matter and useful technical data, this comprehensive text explores: Biomechanics of the upper limbs and the motor control systemThe structure and physiology of the human musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systemsRecent research findings and solutions to various ergonomic problemsModels of various components of the neuromuscular systems, as well as larger systems in the upper limbsRisk factors for disorders and tools used to identify their causesDesigned as a textbook for a typical semester-long graduate-level engineering or kinesiology course, this book includes a link to an ancillary website that offers materials such as PowerPoint?slides, sample exams, and an instructor's manual with complete solutions. It also serves as a practical, up-to-date, engineering-oriented resource for researchers, industrial ergonomists, industrial hygienists, and medical professionals who require supplementary material.
