Clinical Biomechanics in Human Locomotion Summary

Clinical Biomechanics in Human Locomotion: Gait and Pathomechanical Principles by Andrew Horwood (Visiting Fellow, Centre for Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Technologies, Staffordshire University, UK)

Clinical Biomechanics in Human Locomotion: Gait and Pathomechanical Principles explores the clinical management of gait-disturbing or gait-induced pathologies and biomechanical variances during gait between individuals. The book discusses what is required to make terrestrial human locomotion safe and what causes pathology within a context of high locomotive and morphological variability. The interaction of genetics, epigenetics, developmental biology and physiology under the influence of locomotive biomechanics and metabolic energetics drives evolution. Such biological pressures on survival are essential in understanding the locomotive biomechanics of modern humans. In addition, lifestyle, including gait speed adaptability established during the growth influences of anatomical development is also considered.
