Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available research techniques and how to best apply this knowledge to ensure valid data collection. In the highly technical field of biomechanics, research methods are frequently upgraded as the speed and sophistication of software and hardware technologies increase. With this in mind, the second edition includes up-to-date research methods and presents new information detailing advanced analytical methods for investigating human movement.
This text offers a comprehensive learning tool for understanding the flow of one concept to the next, how concepts build on each other, and how to combine analysis routines in different ways to accomplish different tasks. Following are improvements to the second edition:
- A completely reorganized text expanded into 14 chapters and divided into four parts
- More than 100 new pieces of art
- New chapters introducing new techniques and up-and-coming areas of research
- Access to biomechanics research software designed by C-Motion, Visual3D Educational Edition, which allows users to explore the full range of modeling capabilities of the professional Visual3D software in sample data files as well as display visualizations for other data sets.
The second edition of Research Methods in Biomechanics explains the mathematics and data collection systems behind both simple and sophisticated biomechanics and assists both beginning and experienced researchers in developing methods for analyzing and quantifying human movement.
