Book excerpt: There is now widespread recognition that psychosocial factors play a key role in the aetiology, perpetuation, management and prevention of cumulative trauma disorders CTDs. This text addresses the strength, direction and importance of links between psychosocial factors and CTDs.; The book's contributors examine critically current research data, identify potential link mechanisms, and recommend measures for control and prevention. Topics covered include socio-organizational psychology, medical anthropology, occupational medicine, rehabilitation, orthopaedics, job stress and ergonomic interventions. The book aims to demystify the concept of the "psychosocial", so as to promote and assure effective prevention in the workplace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Maren Diehl describes biotensegrity as a new explanatory model for living bodies and especially horse kinetics, as the alternative paradigm to biomechanics. By connecting biotensegrity with the latest knowledge on myofascial tracks in the horse, the encouraging results of brain research and the "sphere of possibilities" as a practice field, the author provides another book filled to the brim. It is an invitation to merrily join motoric learning, tensegrity thinking and feeling, problem-solving processes and personal development. As difficult as the topic might initially appear: anyone who still has pleasure in contemplation or would like to reawaken their enthusiasm for learning and researching in the real, creative sense is well served with this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomechanics of Human Motion: Basics and Beyond for the Health Professions presents a straightforward approach to the basic principles, theories and applications of biomechanics and provides numerous techniques and examples for approaching biomechanical situations enhanced by healthcare professionals. Building on his previous work, Dr. Barney LeVeau uses clearly defined, concise terms and real-life applications rather than advanced mathematics to make teaching and learning biomechanics easier. Based upon the concept of force, the text illustrates how force is applied to the human body and how the body applies force to various objects. The emphasis is upon the pertinent factors that guide the reader to an understanding of biomechanics at a beginning level. Chapter Topics Include: * Strength of material such as loading and stress-strain relationships * Composition and Resolution of Forces such as graphic method and mathematical method * Equilibrium such as static, first condition and second condition * Dynamics such as kinematics and kinetics * Application such as stability and balance, motion analysis, and gait What's Inside: * Simple explanations of biological & mechanical concepts * Contemporary articles at the end of each chapter providing readers with information beyond the basics * Over 240 images illustrate biomechanical situations and computations * User-friendly, uncomplicated mathematical formulas and examples Biomechanics of Human Motion: Basics and Beyond for the Health Professions provides students and clinicians of all allied health professions with a basic background and solid foundation on which to build a solid understanding of force and biomechanics.

Book excerpt: In Beyond Exercise, Pamela Minix asserts a deeply engaging premise: biomechanics can transform everything - even our brain function. It can put right what is wrong in our athletic performance. It can address our chronic pains. Properly mobilized, she presents, biomechanics can make a phenomenal impact on deep-rooted imbalances. Using her personal experience as the model, she bares the science behind biomechanical efficiency in an easy-to-read and applicable way. You will discover philosophies and habits that enhance the innermost workings of your neuromechanics. With conscience execution, you will learn movements that go beyond exercise to activating your true potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These proceedings consist of extended abstracts of the papers presented at the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Conference held in Columbus, Ohio, May 1991. The first volume is divided into three parts: computational mechanics, fluid mechanics, and biomechanics--discussing such specialized subjects as neural network computing; symbolic processing; damage mechanics; ocean wave dynamics; fluid-structure interaction; joint kinematics; and contact problems in biomechanics. Volume two is concerned with structural and material mechanics including such topics as: vibration analysis of structures; chaotic vibrations; fracture and failure analysis; seismic analysis; microstructure analysis; and micromechanics.

This book was released on 2001-06-24 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.
