Description
Biomechanics of the Human Spine: Basic Concepts, Spinal Disorders and Treatments, Second Edition is an essential resource for both biomedical engineers and spinal surgeons. The book is divided into four key sections, each building on the previous to offer a thorough understanding of spine biomechanics. It starts with the functional anatomy of the spine, emphasizing often overlooked aspects of clinical literature. The second section details the mechanics of spinal tissues, including testing setups and mathematical models. The third section explores contemporary spine research methods, while the final section addresses biomechanical aspects of spinal pathologies and their surgical treatments.Contributions from leading institutions worldwide ensure the inclusion of the latest research and expertise in spine biomechanics. Highlights include in-depth experimental testing, numerical simulation, and in vivo studies, such as imaging and motion analysis. The book stands out for its comprehensive approach, bridging the gap between biomechanical knowledge and clinical application. It is indispensable for professionals in the field, offering valuable insights and practical guidance for understanding and treating spinal disorders.- Provides a complete reference which covers all topics related to spine biomechanics (tissue mechanics, methods of investigation, spinal disorders)- Focuses on clinically relevant research questions without compromising on scientific rigour- Includes contributions from a large group of experts with worldwide recognition
