With a clear, accessible writing style and nearly 400 full-color photos and anatomy illustrations, Biomechanics
of Injury, Third Edition guides readers through the mechanical concepts of injuries without a heavy emphasis
on mathematics. Previously titled Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury, this third edition expands coverage of
injuries beyond those of the musculoskeletal system to include the head, neck, and spine. Joining noted
biomechanists Ronald Zernicke and William Whiting is concussion expert and athletic trainer Steven Broglio,
who offers insights on head trauma and other neurological injuries. Knowledge of the biological responses of
tissues to mechanical loading improves our understanding of injury and its consequences; this book will
enable students and health professionals to reduce the likelihood that clients, patients, or athletes will
experience painful and debilitating physical injury
