Multiple Muscle Systems: Biomechanics and Movement Organization

The study of biomechanics and movement organization has become progressively more complex since the development of advanced computers and improved measurement techniques. This is a critical assessment of the relationship between muscle properties, musculoskeletal dynamics and neuromotor organizational strategies. Researchers in this growing interdisciplinary field have contributed both theoretical and applied material to the volume. The book begins with a treatment of muscle mechanics and modelling approaches for musculoskeletal movement systems, and continues with the principles underlying movement organization.
