Review
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 28-APR-05, Eduardo Abreu, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Children's Hospital of Boston, Boston, MA -- "This is an excellent book in orthopaedic biomechanics that will greatly benefit all members of the biomechanics community. It can be used as a text for beginning and advanced students, as well as a reference for both students and researchers at all levels, or for those who just want to learn something about biomechanics."-BioMedical Engineering OnLine
Product Description
Completely revised and updated, the Third Edition of this classic text reflects the latest advances in research on orthopaedic biomechanics and the successful applications of biomechanical principles in fracture fixation, prosthetic implant design, and hip and knee arthroplasty. For this Third Edition, Dr. Mow is joined by new co-editor Rik Huiskes, PhD, an Editor-in-Chief of the "Journal of Biomechanics" and an internationally renowned authority in the field. New chapters cover biomaterials, biomechanical principles of cartilage and bone tissue engineering, and biomechanics of fracture fixation and fracture healing.

I was expecting a guide for massage therapists but instead all I got was engineering, tribology, arthroplasty biomechanics, principles of fracture mechanics - which was excellently covered. I am left wondering how this is relevant to the modern masseur and unfortunately I continue to be told my massage technique is far from perfect.

Excellent book covering orthopaedic biomechanics, written with a postgraduate audience in mind.
The title of this book is Basic Orthopaedic Biomechanics and Mechano-biology. It is not related to massage therapy and seems to be written for orthopaedic surgeons and biomechanists.

Good theory plus research book.
9 Nov 2006
This textbook does a fair job of covering the signifigant aspects of Bio-Mechanics. It is interesting that the chapters cover some theory of the subject and some current research summaries. If you are looking for a text on just the "engineering/math" aspects, this book may have too many other topics included. But for someone interested in seeing how the discussed concepts (bone generation, cartliage properties, etc) interact with real world research and findings, this book is a good example.
