Abstract

Neuro-Biomechanics of Human Movement, introduces the scientific theoretical background for this book (see Fig. 2.1), which is later applied to modern technological advances (presented in the next chapter). This background theory ranges from the neurophysiological to thermodynamical bases of human movement, across anatomical, physiological, mechanical and computational aspects. It was the intention of the authors to develop this book as far as possible without any mathematical equations (with a little exception related to the father of biomechanics, Sir A.V. Hill), so there are no equations prior to the section on Computational Biomechanics.
