Abstract

In this chapter we move beyond the basic principles of biomechanics and cover various special topics. We continue our trip into the understanding of the anatomical and mechanical principles and take a closer look at analyzing the various forms of human movement through various examples and problems from biomechanics research. Our goal is to form a stronger understanding of how to develop the ability to link the structure of the human body with its function from a biomechanical perspective.
