Written by James Watkins, an authority on functional anatomy, Structure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition, integrates anatomy and biomechanics to describe the intimate relationship between the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. This unique reference thoroughly explores the biomechanical characteristics of musculoskeletal components and the response and adaptation of these components to the physical stress imposed by everyday activities. Following a systematic approach, Structure and Function of the Musculoskeletal System describes
· the basic composition and function of the musculoskeletal system;
· mechanical concepts and principles that underlie human movement;
· functional anatomy of the skeletal, connective tissue, articular, and neuromuscular systems;
· mechanical characteristics of musculoskeletal components;
· structural adaptation of musculoskeletal components; and
· the etiology of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries.
