<br/><br/> "The second edition of biomechanics a case-based approach emphasizes the comprehension, relation, and application of the core concepts of biomechanics through the use of problem-based learning strategies. The author utilizes a student centered approach by developing a conversational writing style lying new concepts to everyday experiences, and emphasizing concepts over computation. A wide variety of pedagogical features aid this approach with section questions, competency checks, and various boxed features serving to reinforce the content.<br/><br/>Biomechanics a cased-based approach is organized into IS lessons that cover the three levels of biomechanical analysis whole body, joint, and tissue. Rather than moving from one level to the next, the author deploys a “whole-part-whole” organization in which mechanics principles are described at the whole-body level, followed by relevant discussion of the basic material mechanics of biological tissues, and unique properties of the muscle-tendon complex. The muscle-tendon complex is then put into a joint system, before the mechanics of multi-joint systems are introduced. The three levels are then integrated in the final lesson."--Back cover<br/>
