Publisher's Synopsis
The study of biomechanics and movement organization has become progressively more complex since the development of advanced computers and improved measurement techniques. This is a critical assessment of the relationship between muscle properties, musculoskeletal dynamics and neuromotor organizational strategies. Researchers in this growing interdisciplinary field have contributed both theoretical and applied material to the volume.;The book begins with a treatment of muscle mechanics and modelling approaches for musculoskeletal movement systems, and continues with the principles underlying movement organization.
