More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This work describes how to study human body position and displacement without regard to time, velocity or acceleration. It goes on to "add" these variables in simple and complex biokinematic chains and by adding the variable of three-dimensional movement to the study of multilink chains. The book also includes the three-dimensional analysis of 26 specific human joints. While the work is advanced and assumes a knowledge of calculus and matrix algebra, the emphasis is on explaining movement concepts, not mathematical formulae. The text features 23 refreshers of the basic concepts and many practical examples. The author integrates mechanical models with biological experiments. This work is intended as an undergraduate text and as a reference for biomechanists, sports biomechanists, motor behaviour specialists, ergonomists, orthopaedic surgeons, neuroscience specialists, physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists.

Prerequisites for this book: background in theoretical mechanics, 10 July 2008
By MD into biomechanics - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kinematics of Human Motion (Hardcover)
I am an MD clinician interested in movement science. I have read a number of books in biomechanics of motion. This text does indeed go beyond what the "simplier" biomechanics books do. The problem with Zatsiorsky's text it covers biomechanics in an extremely esoteric way. Unless you are a mechanical engineer or have a very strong background in theoretical mechanics, then this book will be difficult to digest.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Movement Science, 19 Aug 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kinematics of Human Motion (Hardcover)
Dr. Zatsiorsky is very complete and extremely accomplished in his explanation of the science of human movement. I am a graduate student in Exercise Science at the University of Hawai'i and this publication has easied my transition and will be valuable to any student or professional in the Exercise Sciences.
